Abstract:
"THE PAST. In wartime Reykjavik, a young woman is found strangled in 'the shadow district,' a rough and dangerous area of the city. An Icelandic detective and a member of the American military police are on the trail of a brutal killer. THE PRESENT. A 90-year-old man is discovered dead on his bed, smothered with his own pillow. Konrad, a former detective now bored with retirement, finds newspaper cuttings reporting the WWII shadow district murder in the dead man's home. It's a crime that Konrad remembers, having grown up in the same neighborhood. A MISSING LINK. Why, after all this time, would an old crime resurface? Did the police arrest the wrong man?"-- Provided by publisher.
