Satu Rämö, Rakel book

The very popular Hildur series continues!

The biggest secrets arrive on the waves of the Atlantic.

Crime detective Hildur Rúnarsdóttir's everyday life has been serene for a long time, she has gone on a surfing holiday in Hawaii and it has been peaceful in the Western Fjords. Jakob Johanson is also satisfied, although Jakob's son's repatriation to Iceland has not gone without problems. Hildur regularly visits the nursing home to see her family friend Helga. When reminiscing about the old, new, surprising things about Rakel's mother begin to be revealed.

The renovation of Hildur's childhood home progresses until the worst possible secret is revealed. At the same time, a cruise ship arriving in summer Ísafjörður, carrying large masses of tourists, brings with it problems that test Hildur's sense of justice.
