2024: Detective Hildur Rúnarsdottir is working on the chilly west coast of Iceland
The Grave in the Ice
What you need to know before your trail
Detective Hildur Rúnarsdottir and her trainee Jakob are plagued by their own demons while working on the chilly west coast of Iceland: Hildur by the disappearance of her younger sisters twenty-five years ago and Jakob by a custody battle that has left him unable to see his son.
When a local politician is found shot dead on a ski trail, the two must put aside their personal problems to investigate the murder. While initially thought to be a crime of passion, there are much darker secrets hiding beneath the surface. Hildur and Jakob soon realise that even the dead can’t stay buried forever.
Travel Guide
Iceland – West Fjords
The Westfjords is a large peninsula in northwestern Iceland and is the least populous in the country. It faces the east coast of Greenland. The area is very mountainous; the coastline is heavily indented by dozens of fjords surrounded by steep hills. Many roads are closed by ice and snow for several months of the year.
Reykjavík
Reykjavik, on the coast of Iceland, is the country’s capital and largest city.
Ísafjörður
Ísafjörður is a town in the Westfjords region – it is a very small village with such an evocative atmosphere in real life and in the novel!
