One winter evening, bestselling crime author Elìn S. Jónsdóttir goes missing.
There are no clues to her disappearance and it is up to young detective, Helgi, to crack the case before it's leaked to the press. As he interviews the people closest to her - a publisher, an accountant, a retired judge - he realises that Elìn's life wasn't what it seemed. In fact, her past is even stranger than her stories.
As the case of the missing crime writer becomes more mysterious by the hour, Helgi must uncover the secrets of a very unexpected life, before someone else goes missing . . .
Ideal for readers who:
- Enjoy Nordic mysteries with atmosphere, restraint and sharp intrigue
- Are drawn to the disappearance of a bestselling crime writer whose own life hides darker secrets
- Love wintery Icelandic settings under media pressure and mounting unease
- Prefer elegant suspense that rewards careful clue-gathering
