about the book
A prominent middle-aged businessman is found dead on a golf course in the south of Iceland. The same day a sensational course of events kicks off in Reykjavík, when an explosion rocks a whaling boat in the harbour and a group of young people hold demonstrations outside restaurants that have whale meat on the menu.
The under-staffed police force has plenty to deal with, and on top of it all Særos, on whom senior officer Gudgeir normally relies, is not as cool-headed as she usually is. Soon events take a surprising turn … What had seemed a peaceful autumn suddenly looks very different.
