Was an OK read. Getting used to short chapters and skipping from person to person was a little difficult.
I feel all of the chapters with Alexander were not necessary to the book whatsoever and pointless

Vēl viens Adlera-Olsena sociāli aktuālais stāsts. Spriedze, lai arī man bija aizdomas par noslēgumu, saglabājās līdz pēdējais lappusei. Aiz katra bēgļa, kurš bēg uz Eiropu, slēpjas viņa stāsts par iemesliem, kāpēc ir jābēg un ko viņš sagaida. Katrs upuris, kas tomēr Eiropas krastu dzīvs nesasniedz, ir bijis gatavs riskēt un doties šajā bīstamajā ceļojumā. Un tāpat kā šo ceļu izmanto vienkārši pārbijušies cilvēki, to var izmantot arī teroristi ar saviem nāvējošajiem plāniem.

The best book in the Department Q series IMO. The scale, the vastness of the plot was nicely tied, the unfolding of secrets, the emotional experiences of the characters aptly described without compromising the genre of mystery thriller. Loved it!
