Hypothermia

Arnaldur Indriðason ; translated by Victoria Cribb

[a Reykjavik murder mystery]

One cold autumn night, a woman is found hanging from a beam in her summer cottage. It appears to be a straightforward case of suicide; the woman, María, had never recovered from the loss of her mother and had a history of depression. But when Karen, the friend who found her body, approaches Inspector Erlendur Sveinsson and gives him the tape of a séance that María had attended, his curiosity is aroused. He embarks on an unofficial investigation into María's death, while remembering the unresolved cases of two young people who went missing thirty years before. Some descriptions of sex and violence, some strong language. 2009
