One winter evening bestselling crime author, Elin S. Jonsdottir 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 Elin’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 . . .

‘Rooted in the golden age of crime fiction and full of charming literary allusions. Elegiac and satisfying’ Sunday Times
