About This Item
New York. 2006. October 2006. St Martin's/Minotaur. 1st American Edition. Very Good in Dustjacket. 0312340710. Translated from the Icelandic by Bernard Scudder. 280 pages. hardcover. Jacket photograph of birds and sky by Eugene Kuo. keywords: Literature Iceland Scandinavia Mystery Translated. FROM THE PUBLISHER - Downtrodden Detective Erlendur and his team must once again investigate Reykjavik's hidden past to unravel a case of human nastiness. Construction work in an expanding Reykjavik uncovers a shallow grave. Years before, this part of the city was all open hills, and Erlendur and his team hope this is a typical Icelandic missing person scenario; perhaps someone once lost in the snow, who has lain peacefully buried for decades. But things are never that simple. While Erlendur struggles to hold together the crumbling fragments of his own family, his case unearths many other tales of family 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 even secrets taken to the grave cannot remain hidden forever. Alive with tension and atmosphere, and disturbingly real, this is an outstanding continuation of the Reykjavik Murder Mysteries. inventory #32220 ISBN: 0312340710.
