The Shadow District (2013)

Author: Arnaldur Indridason

An old man is found dead in his apartment in Reykjavik. On his desk are newspaper clippings going back to the Second World War about a brutal murder: a girl was found strangled behind the National Theater which, at the time, was a storage facility for the American Army. A retired police officer hears about the incident and his curiosity awakens. He remembers the case of the dead girl but wants to find out why the old man kept news related to her murder.

In The Shadow District Arnaldur Indridason treads unknown paths following a new character; both during the present and during the World War.
