The Keeper of Lost Causes: The First Department Q Novel (A Department Q) by Jussi Adler-Olsen

A detective comes back to work after a colleague is killed and anther paralyzed. His heart isn’t in it and he is relegated to an office in the basement with a Syrian refugee who is more than his documents say as an assistant. He is in charge of the ‘lost causes’ cases that have not been solved. Combine that with a woman held captive, in isolation for 5 years and you’ve got a very good story.
