The Legacy: Yrsa Sigurdardottir

The murder was meant as a punishment - but what sin could justify the method?

The only person who might have answers is the victim`s seven-year-old daughter, found hiding in the room where her mother died. And she`s not talking.

Newly promoted, out of his depth, detective Huldar turns to Freyja and the Children`s House for their expertise with traumatised young people. Freyja, who distrusts the police in general and Huldar in particular, isn`t best pleased. But she`s determined to keep little Margret safe.

It may prove tricky. The killer is leaving them strange clues: warnings in text messages, sums scribbled on bits of paper, numbers broadcast on the radio. He`s telling a dark and secret story - but how can they crack the code? And if they do, will they be next?
