Publisher's Synopsis
When two small-time crooks rob Reykjavik's premier drug dealer, their plans start to unravel after their getaway driver fails to show. Tensions mount between the pair and the two women they grabbed as hostages, when they find themselves holed up in an isolated hotel that has been mothballed for the season. Back in the capital, police officers Gunnhildur, Eirikur and Helgi find themselves at a dead end investigating what appears to be the unrelated disappearance of a mother, her daughter and their car, and the death of a thief. But Gunna and her team soon realise that all these unrelated incidents are, in fact, linked - while at the same time, two increasingly desperate lowlifes have no choice but to make some big decisions on how to get rid of their accidental hostages...
