Sólveig, Pálsdóttir. Ice and Crime. #bk. 1

Read by Ann Richardson

Hoping to put behind him tragedy in his professional life and to resolve the turmoil in his personal life, Reykjavik police officer Guðgeir Fransson has moved as far away from home as he can, marking time in a dead-end job in a small town in eastern Iceland. His detective's instincts are triggered when he hears about a foreign woman who arrived in this tight-knit community-and then disappeared as suddenly as she had appeared. The trail of the missing woman takes him back to Reykjavik, and then to a remote farmhouse beneath dark mountains where an elderly woman and her son live with their sinister past. An exciting new voice in Nordic crime fiction, Glass Key Award-nominated Icelandic author Solveig Pálsdottir is published for the first time in English
