The first case for Dora and Rado, detectives in Reykjavík. From Oscar-nominated author Jón Atli Jónasson.

She is supposed to be doing desk work, as she is struggling with the aftermath of a brain injury from a previous assignment. However, her colleagues are busy with a risky raid in the underworld. Rado, the son of Serbian immigrants, stands by her side. He has worked his way up in the police force but finds himself in trouble due to family connections.
