Oblivion

A woman swims in a remote milky-blue lagoon. Steam rises from the water and as it clears a body is revealed in the ghostly light. Miles away a vast aircraft hangar rises behind the perimeter fence of the US military base. A sickening thud is heard as a man’s body falls from a high platform. Many years before a schoolgirl went missing. The world has forgotten her. But Erlendur has not. Erlendur Sveinsson is a newly promoted detective with a battered body a rogue CIA operative and America’s troublesome presence in Iceland to contend with. In his spare time he investigates a cold case. He is only starting out but he is already up to his neck.
