About this ebook

The coldest cases hide the darkest truths.

One summer night, a couple make the fateful decision to let their nine-year-old daughter camp out in their garden shed.

They will never see her again.

Nine years later, in the depths of winter, Kría's clothing is discovered in an old suitcase during a police raid, and the cold case is thrust violently back into the spotlight.

Detectives Karó and Týr are sent to the village of Stykkishólmur on the Icelandic west coast to inform her parents, only to stumble on the scene of a murder.

Idunn, the pathologist, summoned to join them, is conducting a private inquiry of her own, into the truth behind the murder of Týr's mother, years earlier.

Meanwhile, a newly single mother of two, renting the flat once occupied by the ill-fated family, becomes dangerously captivated by the case, leading to dire consequences.
