À Siglufjördur, à l’approche de l’hiver, le soleil disparaît derrière les montagnes pour ne réapparaître que deux mois plus tard. Ce village perdu du nord de l’Islande plonge alors dans une obscurité totale…
Le jeune policier Ari Thór veille sur la petite communauté sans histoires. Mais son collègue, l’inspecteur Herjólfur, est assassiné alors qu’il enquêtait aux abords d’une vieille maison abandonnée. L’illusion d’innocence tombe. Tous les habitants n’avaient-ils pas, au fond, une bonne raison de semer le chaos ? Elín, qui fuit un passé violent. Gunnar, maire du village, qui cache d’étranges secrets… Pour reconstituer le puzzle, il faudra aussi écouter cette voix qui murmure, enfermée derrière les cloisons d’un hôpital psychiatrique, et qui tient peut-être la clé de l’énigme.

In Bordeaux, when I bought this (and another) book in French, I really seriously intended to go and read them.
After all, how hard could it be, especially when there's a place where you can look up words you don't know.

Now, nearly 5 years later, I finally picked this one up, to find that my French is much rustier than I wanted to admit. And I can't read it, not without giving it serious effort, get a small course of French to brush up my knowledge.
And that's too far fetched for me at this point in time. So... This book and it's nephew will go travelling when we're off on holiday. I bet there will be someone who'll enjoy reading it.

Leaving this boek in the cottage we rented for our holidays.
