Arnaldur Indriðason’s thirtieth novel in as many years is a fast-paced, gripping crime thriller in which the glitz of Hollywood collides with the realities of Iceland in a whirlwind of unexpected and terrifying events.
Lóla, a young police officer, is sent from Akureyri to Kópasker after a large Hollywood film crew working in the village complains about the locals. The crew is shooting a crime series, and its internationally renowned leading actress holds the entire production in her grip with her whims and demands. Just as a fierce blizzard sweeps across northern Iceland, cutting the village off from the outside world, the actress is brutally murdered.
With the help of a local man who once served on the police force, Lóla struggles to bring the situation under control. As darkness descends, a deadly game of cat and mouse begins.
