It starts as a deceptively quiet Monday at the Hverfisgata police station. Then, a mysterious package arrives for Thorhall, a seasoned detective veteran. Seconds later, a devastating blast shatters the peace. Before the smoke can even clear, a second shockwave hits: an elderly man is found brutally murdered across town. Under intense pressure to restore order, Thorhall and his team soon realize these are not isolated incidents-the threads of both crimes stretch into the highest echelons of Icelandic society.
Are terrorists targeting the nation? How is the murder linked to the bombing? And why does the name of the government's chief economic adviser keep appearing in the shadows of the investigation?
