Retired detective Konrad returns to a haunting cold case in The
Darkness Knows by Arnaldur Indridason, the "undisputed King of the
Icelandic thriller." --The Guardian (UK)
A frozen body is discovered in the icy depths of Langjökull glacier,
apparently that of a businessman who disappeared thirty years before. At
the time, an extensive search and police investigation yielded no
results--one of the missing man's business associates was briefly held
in custody, but there wasn't enough evidence to charge him.
Now the associate is arrested again and Konrad, the retired policeman
who originally investigated the disappearance, is called back to reopen
the case that has weighed on his mind for decades.
When a woman approaches him with new information that she obtained from
her deceased brother, progress can finally be made in solving this
long-cold case.
In The Darkness Knows, the master of Icelandic crime writing reunites
readers with Konrad, the unforgettable retired detective from The
Shadow District. This is a powerful and haunting story about the
poisonous secrets and cruel truths that time eventually uncovers.
