This police procedural jumps back and forth between wartime and present-day Reykjavik. A 90-year-old detective is haunted by a woman's murder that he investigated in his youth. He begins to re-examine the case but is soon found murdered in his tiny apartment. A retired detective (also with a history related to the past case) assists the local police who are overwhelmed with their caseload. This is a fairly quick read with some Icelandic atmosphere; however, the story drags in places and it took me a while to get used to the jumping back-and-forth between the past and the present (since there were no dates to the sections).
