bgg616 's review for:
The Marco Effect
by Jussi Adler-Olsen
Marco is a 15 year old Roma boy from Italy living in Denmark. The leader of his clan, Zola, is brutal and ruthless. Marco runs away, and this is the story of his survival. Marco discovers a victim of Zola buried in the woods. He wants the family of the victim to know their loved one is dead and where the body is. In the meantime, Zola and the clan relentlessly search for Marco. Marco has so many close encounters and escapes I lost count. I think he has more than 9 lives.
This is a good thriller, and the policeman Carl Mørck and his assistants, Assad and Rose, find themselves in the middle of this mystery. Assad continues to amuse with his endless proverbs about camels and tendency to interpret language literally. This lightens up the story which avoids the kind of darkness found in some Scandinavian crimes novels.
