Frozen Out

The discovery of a corpse washed up on a beach in an Icelandic backwater
sparks a series of events that propels the village of Hvalvik's police
sergeant Gunnhildur into deep waters.
Although under pressure to
deal with the matter quickly, she is suspicious that the man's death was
no accident and once she has identified the body, sets about
investigating his final hours.The case takes Gunnhildur away from her
village and into a cosmopolitan world of shady deals, government
corruption and violence. She finds herself alone and less than welcome
in this hostile environment as she tries to find out who it was that
made sure the young man drowned on a dark night one hundred kilometres
from where he should have been - and why.
