I can still see her dark eyes … she was looking at me while the priest raped her … begging me to help her, but I did nothing…

A priest in a hospice seeks out Stella with his last confession involving the rape and murder of a 12-year-old girl in the northern region of Strandir. Stella’s ex-girlfriend suffers a mysterious assault  in Snæfellsnes, and a client dies in a horrendous explosion at a meeting of the Nationalist Party at the University Cinema. That is more than enough for the hardened lawyer who lets nothing stop  her in the pursuit of justice.

Stella Blomkvist has held crooks and villains to account for more than twenty years and has a loyal following.
