"Is this the best crime author in the world?" The Times Helgi Reykdal, freshly returned from his studies in Great Britain, begins his first position with the police in Reykjavík. At the same time, he is writing his thesis on the greatest mystery in Icelandic criminal history: in 1983, a nurse was murdered in an old tuberculosis hospital in the far north of Iceland, shortly after which the chief physician dies. Why did the investigations led by Hulda Hermannsdóttir come to a standstill? Was she possibly silenced? In the course of his research, Helgi Reykdal uncovers a terrifying story and is determined to unravel the decades-old secret. A fascinating crime novel with an icy atmosphere, grand suspense, and a charismatic young detective – by the Icelandic bestselling author Ragnar Jónasson.
