Summary
Satu Ramo: Hildir
In the land of ice, every emotion is suppressed. Every word carefully spoken. And every truth is dangerous. A harsh end. Closed community. A long-forgotten crime that gives no peace. Hildir Runarsdottir is a detective in the remote Icelandic town of Ysafjörður, at the very edge of the world. As a specialist in cases of missing children, she faces the most difficult cases every day, and her past is no easier either. As he goes out on the icy waves of the Atlantic at dawn, Hildir tries to silence the restlessness he carries inside him. At the same time, he must face a double threat: crimes that shake the community and family secrets that threaten to surface? To her aid comes Finnish police trainee Jakob Johansson - a man with his own reasons for fleeing Helsinki. A seemingly incompatible tandem, Hildir and Jakob soon become part of an investigation that unravels a complex web of silence, guilt and long-standing lies. Because behind the silence of the fjords lies a dark truth - and someone is determined to bury it. A harsh but emotional crime story that opens new doors of Nordic noir.
