The Perfect Operation

In the middle of performing an operation on a British public servant, the surgeon is secretly replaced by an unknown man, who finishes the operation... When this is discovered, the initial suspicion is that the 'replacement' botched it up on purpose - however, it turns out he performed it flawlessly. So why was the surgeon replaced at all? Since the man who was operated on is an important public figure, this delicate case is referred to the Department.

The surgeon at the hospital says that the style in which the unknown intruder finished the operation reminds him of the technique of a famous Russian surgeon - yet the man in question would be far too old by now... Nonetheless, Stewart goes behind the Iron Curtain, flying to Moscow to talk to that surgeon, where, after dodging a few KGB agents, he makes an interesting discovery... Meanwhile, Jason follows up another lead that takes him to Istanbul, where his inquiries attract some unwanted attention, so when he is knocked out, he lands in a local hospital, where he too discovers an interesting piece of the puzzle...

Dept. Q

DCI Carl Morck is a brilliant cop but a terrible colleague. His razor-sharp sarcasm has made him no friends in Edinburgh police. After a shooting that leaves a young PC dead, and his partner paralysed, he finds himself exiled to the basement and the sole member of Department Q; a newly formed cold case unit. The department is a PR stunt, there to distract the public from the failures of an under-resourced, failing police force that is glad to see the back of him. But more by accident than design, Carl starts to build a gang of waifs and strays who have everything to prove. So, when the stone-cold trail of a prominent civil servant who disappeared several years ago starts to heat up, Carl is back doing what he does best - rattling cages and refusing to take no for an answer.
