A riveting true story about growing up in a criminal underworld.By age six Nicolai Lilin had been given his first knife. By age twelve he had been convicted of attempted murder.Lilin was a member of the Siberian Urkas—a tight-knit fraternity with strict codes of honour.

There’s been a public disaster, and someone wants to sweep it under the rug. A journalist is asking questions, and she stumbles across another story, from several years ago. Any connection seems like pure speculation – but then her family is threatened. A short thriller playing on two historical events.

Journalist Laura Schreiner faces a painful decision. She has asked too many questions, and now the lives of her children are in danger.

A catastrophe has taken place, and a curiously large number of people care remarkably little about investigating it. The ambitious young journalist isn’t going to take it lying down. During her research, she meets someone who tries to convince her that there is a connection to another unresolved drama. It might just be wild speculation – but her children have been kidnapped. Whoever is behind it is powerful and ruthless.

This short thriller draws the pieces of its puzzle from the mix of clues and theories surrounding a plane crash more than 30 years ago. This is a work of fiction. Although it is set against a backdrop of historical events, the plot is entirely the product of the author’s imagination.

El hallazgo de un esqueleto humano enterrado en una colina en las afueras de Reykjavik pone en una situación difícil al detective Erlendur y sus ayudantes: no sólo necesitan recurrir a un equipo de arqueólogos que empleará varios días para recuperarlo en buenas condiciones, sino que además éstos les advierten desde las primeras paladas de que no se trata de un cadáver reciente, y que probablemente puede corresponder a un enterramiento de unos sesenta años atrás. Desde que conocen este dato, y sin saber a ciencia cierta la identidad del enterrado, los investigadores se yen inmersos en la compleja reconstrucción de unos hechos ocurridos durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial, cuando las tropas aliadas estaban acantonadas en esos montes, entonces alejados de la capital y habitados sólo a medias, y que les sumerge poco a poco en la dramática historia privada de algunas familias de la época, rememorada por los ecos de los pocos habitantes de aquella zona que aún quedan con vida.Un rompecabezas complicado para un atribulado Erlendur, que tiene que enfrentarse a sus propios fantasmas familiares cuando recibe una fugaz llamada de su problemática hija Eva Lind, a la que hace mucho que no ve y para la que nunca ha sido precisamente un modelo de padre, y que sólo tiene tiempo de pedirle auxilio antes de que se corte la comunicación.
