Keeper of Lost Causes: August 20 – 26, 2011

Hi this is Betsy from Otto’s.  Carl Morck, Copenhagen Police Investigator, was a thorn in everyone’s side.  He shows up hours late every day, rides his staff hard, interferes with other cases and doesn’t return his phone calls.  His office is utter chaos and every word out of his mouth is skeptical and caustic.  What’s the police chief to do?  Promote him, of course.  Give him his own department and move his office to the basement.  Then load him with cold cases.  In the newest international thriller, The Keeper of Lost Causes, we follow the almost broken Carl Morck through the investigation that had stumped the police five years earlier, second guessing every assumption they had made, cutting through every word of so-called testimony and re-visiting every place the leads had dead-ended—while the supposed victim of the crime is struggling to stay alive…just one more day.  Unbearable suspense, intricate plot twists with a hero everyone had given up on—put your “out to lunch” sign on the door, take your phone off the hook, put your feet up on the desk and enjoy The Keeper of Lost Causes.  You’ll find it at Otto’s, a booklover’s paradise in the heart of Downtown Williamsport.
