What you need to know before your trail

When the fate of Áróra’s missing sister, Isafold, is discovered, Áróra is relieved that she can halt a search that has taken over her life, even if the mystery remains unsolved. But when Isafold’s boyfriend – chief suspect in her disappearance – is found dead in the same place that Isafold’s body was found, Áróra begins to lose her grip on reality.

To distract herself, she dives headfirst into a money-laundering case that her friend Daníel is investigating. But she finds that there is more than meets the eye, and once again, all leads point towards Engihjalli, the street where Isafold lived and died, and a series of shocking secrets that could explain and endanger everything…

Travel Guide

Reykjavík and Seyðisfjörður 

The city that comes alive under the pen of Lilja. The action concentrates in the main city as usual but we get a lovely glimpse into the eastern side of the island:

Seyðisfjörður is a town in the Eastern Region of Iceland in the municipality of Múlaþing. A road over Fjarðarheiði mountain pass connects Seyðisfjörður to the rest of Iceland; someone drives here in the novel and it’s beautifully described!
