Publisher's Synopsis
Why did she do it? After a day of simmering tension, Júlía snaps and abandons her husband Gíó on an uninhabited island in a freezing fjord in the depths of the Icelandic winter.
When she returns the next morning, he is nowhere to be found. The police launch a manhunt, but soon their suspicion falls on Júlía. She spins them a story to hide her involvement, but she can feel the net closing in.
Is Gíó alive or dead? In hiding or hunting her down? And can Júlía get to the truth before it destroys her?
A truly unusual crime novel which kept me reading until the very end. The integrity of all the main characters is questioned throughout the story so the reader has to tackle some moral questions as the plot unravels. highly enjoyable
