This story, as was the first, is intense. From the perspective on the criminal side, it was dark, but on the investigative side, somewhat loose and entertaining. First of all, I can't see how a police department can function like this in the U.S. It's personnel policies are really rather lax and could readily be susceptible to terrorism. In this series, we have a rather disgruntled veteran detective managing a cold-case department with a secretary suffering from a dissociative personality disorder (at least two manifest personalities) and an Syrian assistant whose background is of a highly suspicious nature. Nonetheless, the rapport between the detective, Carl Morck and Hafez el Assad is quite entertaining. Morck's personal background is an unusual construction of an unfaithful wife from whom he has a fear of divorcing for financial reasons, a worthless step son who he tolerates in his apartment along with others, and a female psychologist, i.e., his analyst with whom he is having an affair. The novel, as a mystery story, is very good, and the characters enjoyable, if neurotic with aberrant behavior patterns. This hodge-podge blend of intense criminal activity and crazy characters makes for an excellent story blend. Review: Page Turner - Several interesting characters. Lots of suspense, twists, and turns. Scary cult figures. Looking forward to book four in this Dept Q series. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #49,234 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #406 in Science Fiction Crime & Mystery #894 in Murder Thrillers #1,166 in Police Procedurals (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (3,804) | | Dimensions | 1.3 x 5.3 x 7.9 inches | | ISBN-10 | 0142180815 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0142180815 | | Item Weight | 14.6 ounces | | Language | English | | Part of series | A Department Q Novel | | Print length | 528 pages | | Publication date | December 31, 2013 | | Publisher | Dutton | ## Images ![A Conspiracy of Faith: A Department Q Novel - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81ZVnKGOxmL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Intense and Humorous *by D***I on April 19, 2016* This is the second of Adler-Olsen's books that I've read, but the third in the Department Q series. This story, as was the first, is intense. From the perspective on the criminal side, it was dark, but on the investigative side, somewhat loose and entertaining.

Lots of suspense, twists, and turns. Scary cult figures. Looking forward to book four in this Dept Q series. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Worth the wait....grabs you from the first page *by M***B on May 31, 2013* Two terrified little boys chained up in a boathouse..a serial kidnapper and murderer..crackpot religious sects..arsonists..Eastern Europe crime syndicates..and it just keeps going and going. The kidnapper/murderer is a genius at hiding his trail, disguises, etc. Even his wife doesn't really know who he is. An expert aT finding and using women. A real psychopath with a pretty awful childhood. Detective Morck is his usual self although he has been relocated/exiled to the basement and he isn't bothered by the brass as much. Seems like he is slowing down. His love life is in better shape. His psychiatrist/girlfriend is back and they lost no time getting back together. His crackpot ex-wife is still crazy and his teenage son is still a pain. Assad, who is actually an assistant/janitor, really comes to the front in this book. His keen observant eye and amazing memory once again allows him to tie tiny details together and bring them to Morck's attention. All crucial to finally solving the case. And once again Assad shows several times that he is capable of serous physical action/violence and again we wonder exactly what his job was back home. Plus he knows how to drive tanks? Rose, the usually efficient secretary, is going through some strange phase and she is either missing or a little whacked out throughout most of the book. Hardy, the paralyzed bedridden ex-cop, is living at Morck's place. Morck still feeling guilty. The author still excels at adding in funny details: like the fly that successfully ambushes Morck over and over, the health inspector giving them grief over asbestos, Morck paying his son to find his ex-wife a new boyfriend, and Assad having a brawl in the office with another of his countrymen. Ending is great, real page turner. Are they going to get there in time...? All in all thoroughly enjoyable. Recommended.
