Second novel in his Reykjavik mysteries. As amazing as the first one. A dark tale of abuse, of courage and ultimately of resilience. Erlendur must deal with his daughter in a profound coma, the discovery of a skeleton in the suburbs of Reykjavik where the second World War Army base was situated starts a trip down memory lane and the search for a woman in green, a lost fiancée and in the end the naked truth. Deep, disturbing but wonderful.
