Der Island-Krimi

Crime writer Solveig Karlsdottir is pretty successful - although that's not particularly easy in Iceland. After all, with only two murders a year in the entire country, there aren't many sources of inspiration, but she makes up for this with a lot of imagination and her special feeling for things that aren't quite right. And this feeling kicks in strongly when she travels from Reykjavik to her old home village to look after her mother Margret, who is suffering from dementia. When an old friend from her youth is found dead at the harbor, she doesn't believe the official conclusion that it was an accident.

In Iceland, Elf Commissioner Isolda Thorsdóttir is found shot in an elf park. Crime writer Solveig Karlsdóttir and Inspector Finsen discover a terrified girl, Yrsa, holding the murder weapon. As Solveig calms Yrsa, she uncovers the child’s silence, the mother’s secrets, and a lethal clash of elf lore and corporate schemes behind Isolda’s death.
