Bone by bone, the body is unearthed, and the brutalizing history of a family who lived near the building site comes to light along with it. Was the skeleton a man or a woman, a victim or a killer, and is this a simple case of murder or a long-concealed act of justice? As Erlendur tries to crack this cold case, he must also save his drug-addicted daughter from self destruction and somehow glue his hopelessly fractured family back together. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eLike the chilly Nordic mysteries of Henning Mankell and Karen Fossum, Arnaldur Indridason delivers a stark police procedural full of humanity and pathos, a classic noir from a very cold place.\u003ch3\u003eFront Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDowntrodden detective Erlendur and his team must once again look into Reykjavik's hidden past to unravel a case of human nastiness.
