What you need to know before your trail

A corpse is washed up on a beach in an Icelandic backwater starting a chain of events which plunges the village of Hvalvik into chaos.

The local police sergeant Gunnhildur has a lot to deal with particularly as she suspects that the man’s death was not an accident. She decides to look into his past more closely but ends up getting dragged into a world of corruption and violence, not to mention danger to herself.

Nothing is straight forward – The night he drowned for example, he was a long way from where he was supposed to have been .

Travel Guide

The village of Hvalvik is fictional yet the author mentions at the start of the book that he based much of it on Grindavik for its atmosphere and geography.

Other locations are real although he has taken a few liberties with the place names.

Reykjanesbraut – Route 41, known as Reykjanesbraut, south-west Iceland, runs along the northern shore of Reykjanes peninsula and through the capital region

The policemen in the book are constantly driving along here and show the extent of the wilderness of the places

Of course Reykavik is featured as this is where the main police HQ is in  Hverfisgata
