Hilda and Conversation with Death

matiem, un kā pareģe zināja, kur viņu meklēt?
Pēdas aizved piecdesmit gadus senā pagātnē – pie audžuģimenes, kuras mājas pagrabā atradās sens apbedīšanas birojs un kura ņēma aizgādībā mazas meitenes ar vienādu asinsgrupu. Sagadīšanās? Jo tālāk nonāk izmeklēšana, jo ciešāk tā savijas ar paša Kristofera dzīvi, atklājot notikumus, par kuriem viņš pat nenojauta.

Hilda. Sen neatklāti noziegumi un tumši noslēpumi…
Ikviens dara visu, lai izdzīvotu ledainajos fjordos attālākajā Islandes nostūrī. Arī Hilda, kura nodarbojas ar pazudušo bērnu meklēšanu Islandes laukos, daudz neatšķiras no citiem. Viņa dodas sērfot Atlantijas okeāna stindzinošajos ūdeņos, cenšoties atbrīvoties no bērnības traumējošās pieredzes un izmeklējamo lietu smagās nastas.
Kad Jakobs Johansons, jaunais somu policijas praktikants, ierodas Islandē, lai strādātu kopā ar Hildu, viņš drīz vien saprot, ka krāšņie, ainaviskie fjordi glabā arī tumšus noslēpumus. Hildai un Jakobam nāksies izmeklēt virkni īpaši samezglotu noziegumu, kas nav atklāti desmitgadēm ilgi. Atriebība teorijā var būt salda, bet vai tā kaut ko atrisinās?

Swedish crime novel master Anna Jansone returns with a thrilling and dark story about the human ability to manipulate.
A woman who claims to have psychic abilities publicly announces that the spirit of a little girl has contacted her and she knows where the remains are located. Pragmatic criminal investigator Kristofers Barks does not believe in psychics, but decides to verify the claim and indeed finds the skeleton of a nine-year-old child at the described location. Who is this red-haired girl, and how did the clairvoyant know where to find her?
The clues lead fifty years into the past – to a foster family whose basement housed an old funeral home and who took in little girls with the same blood type. Coincidence? The further the investigation goes, the more it intertwines with Kristofers's own life, revealing events he never suspected.

Hilda. Long-uncovered crimes and dark secrets…
Everyone does everything to survive in the icy fjords of the remotest corner of Iceland. Hilda, who searches for missing children in the Icelandic countryside, is not much different from others. She goes surfing in the chilling waters of the Atlantic Ocean, trying to free herself from traumatic childhood experiences and the heavy burden of the cases she investigates.
When Jakobs Johansons, a young Finnish police intern, arrives in Iceland to work with Hilda, he soon realizes that the picturesque fjords also hold dark secrets. Hilda and Jakobs will have to investigate a series of particularly complex crimes that have remained unsolved for decades. Revenge in theory can be sweet, but will it solve anything?
