The Marco Effect: A Department Q Novel
The Marco Effect: A Department Q Novel by Jussi Adler-Olsen 512 pages
Marco is a good boy. An avid reader, though in secret because his Gypsy family doesn't see the need to go to school and doesn't trust anyone outside their own "family." Uncle Zola rules the family with an iron hand and isn't above any treachery when it comes to stealing, conning and making money, even murder is not off limits to this violent man. Many underhanded and clandestine events occur and when the family turns against 15 year old Marco and Marco becomes privy to where a body is buried things heat up throughout the rest of the story to its final climactic twist. No one is safe not even in their own homes and in a John Wick 3 thriller ordeal surprises and twists abound. A good book that will hold your interest throughout. I would recommend this book highly to mystery lovers, especially murder mystery lovers, and all who find interpol police work fascinating. There is a hodge podge of nations and killers brought in to find Marco. Jussi Adler-Olsen tells a great story.
