"A master of the Icelandic thriller."-New York Post

As snow blankets Reykjavík and Christmas approaches, young detective Helgi is looking forward to a quiet holiday-until those plans are torn away in a flash. One month after his girlfriend Aníta is killed in a car accident, he returns to work in Reykjavík, haunted by loss and rage. The driver-Helgi's ex-girlfriend Bergþóra, a violent alcoholic whose abuse he kept secret-insists Aníta's death was an accident and walks free.

To escape his mounting despair, Helgi throws himself into the unsolved disappearance of his predecessor, Hulda, a retired officer long presumed dead. But as he follows the traces she left behind, the lines between her past and his present begin to blur . . .

When Bergþóra is later found lifeless in her bath, suspicion falls squarely on Helgi. With his own colleagues turning against him, can he uncover the truth in time
