The Clues in the Fjord

More about the book

In the fjords, the whispers of the dead linger. Detective Hildur Rúnarsdóttir leads a department for missing children, haunted by the unresolved disappearance of her sisters twenty years ago. As she navigates the cold waters of the Atlantic, surrounded by the harsh Icelandic landscape, she grapples with her deepest pain. What happened to her sisters, who have been missing for over two decades? This question torments Hildur daily. When an avalanche uncovers the remains of a man with a slit throat, long-buried secrets begin to surface. Hildur is joined by a new colleague, Finnish police intern Jakob, who is escaping his own demons in Iceland. Together, they understand that while revenge may offer satisfaction, the cost is steep.
