THE BRILLIANT THIRD BOOK IN THE BESTSELLING HILDUR SERIES, SOON TO BE A TV SHOW!As Christmas comes to the west cost of Iceland, a corpse is found in a fish farming pond. Detective Hildur R�narsd�ttir and trainee Jakob Johanson barely have time to start their investigation before another body is discovered. And soon a third. While investigating the case, Hildur's lost sister weighs heavy on her mind. Meanwhile, Jakob travels to Finland for the hearing of his fraught custody battle, that leaves him facing dire consequences. As the number of deaths continues to grow, Hildur and Jakob are desperate to catch the killer before they strike again.

This book must be read in one sitting' Max Seeck, NYT and Der Spiegel bestselling author'R�m� plans to continue Hildur's story, and if she does it as well as in this, her debut novel, she may become a significant new name in Nordic crime fiction' Helsingin Sanomat
