Sinopse

It's New Year and Iceland is still reeling from the effects of the financial crash when a notorious financier is found beaten to death after a high-profile reception at the President's residence.
The police are certain they have the killer – or do they? Determined to get to the truth, maverick lawyer Stella Blómkvist isn't so sure.  'Stella is a force of nature: She drinks Jack Daniels and uses the Alice B Toklas cookbook' – Mark Sanderson, The Times
A stripper disappears from one of city's seediest nightspots, and nobody but Stella seems interested in finding her. A drug mule cooling his heels in a prison cell refuses to speak to anyone but Stella – although she's never heard of him. An old man makes a deathbed confession and request for Stella to find the family he lost long ago.
'I had never heard of Stella Blómkvist, but I guarantee I'll never forget her!' – Christoffer Petersen
With a sharp tongue and a moral compass all of her own, Stella Blómkvist has a talent for attracting trouble and she's as at home in the corridors of power as in the dark corners of Reykjavík's underworld.
Stella Blómkvist delivers an explosive mix of murder, intrigue and surprise, and is one of Iceland's best-loved crime series.
