After years in the UK training as a forensic psychologist, 35-year-old Kamilla Brim returns to Iceland to care for her terminally ill mother — and to confront the mystery of why her father abandoned the family.

When lawyer Gísli asks for her help with a murder case involving a suspicious confession, Kamilla uncovers a false admission and exposes a corrupt police officer. Her professional composure is tested by a growing attraction to Gísli and the unexpected return of her British boyfriend, Kamilla is torn between love and loyalty.

When her mother dies, Kamilla is left with a box of letters about her father — and a truth she must decide whether she is ready to face.

“A pleasant surprise! I’m usually able to figure out how connects by the middle of the book, but this one kept me guessing much longer.”
