Secrets of the night

The book overview says: The novel: Tourism is thriving very much these days in Iceland due to the slow retreat of glaciers as a result of the greenhouse effect. A group of tourists accidentally discover the body of a businessman missing for thirty years on a Langjökull glacier, and the partner from that period is re-arrested. Retired policeman Conrad is forced to resume his investigation with reluctance, an investigation that has long burdened his conscience, especially since it was partially sabotaged by a police officer still in service. Only when he thought he could live peacefully with his grief over his wife’s recent death, Conrad finds himself compelled to continue his research despite the great difficulties and hatred surrounding that case. Only a woman’s testimony, telling him the story of her brother’s murder at the hands of an unknown driver and begging him to find out what happened to him, can help him move forward… From the novel’s atmosphere we read: “- Well, it’s not impossible that the killer wanted us to believe that Sigurður went to the glacier and died there, even though he wasn’t dressed appropriately for the cold. – There’s something unclear about all this,” Marta said. “The pocket was left in one place and the body in another, and that’s a bad act, as you say.” Publishing house: Arab Scientific Publishers Author: Ragnhildur Andriðason Number of pages: 254
