"'The story is of marital relations in pre-war Iceland. When a body is found in a shallow grave during building in a Reykjavík suburb, the detective must investigate the history of the area. Only recently it was wild hill country, and the relationships, often damaged, colour the whole story. It has a sympathetic detective playing off past and present. A marvellously atmospheric and haunting book.'

Downtrodden detective Erlendur and his team investigate the human nastiness in Iceland's hidden past. Alive with tension and atmosphere and disturbingly real, this is an outstanding continuation of the Reykjavík Murder Mysteries. Building work in an expanding Reykjavík uncovers a shallow grave. Years before, this part of the city was all open hills, and Erlendur and his team hopes this is a typical Icelandic missing person scenario; perhaps someone once lost in the snow, who has lain peacefully buried for decades. Things are never that simple.

Whilst Erlendur struggles to hold together the crumbling fragments of his own family, his case unearths other tales of pain. The hills have more than one tragic story to tell: tales of failed relationships and heartbreak; of anger, domestic violence and fear; of family loyalty and family shame. Few people are still alive who can tell the story, but secrets taken to the grave cannot remain hidden forever."

WILD RELEASE NOTES:

Mergulho na Piscina!

1st Bookcrossing Convention. I picked this book because I've been reading Nordic mysteries and I haven't read any Icelandic one yet. When I finish, I intend to release the book while travelling abroad. Thank you.

CAUGHT IN MACEDA, OVAR PORTUGAL

Very good crime story, focusing on Nordic cultural and social issues as much as on the crime itself. Meanwhile there are other from this series.
