This atmospheric crime thriller laced with humour is set in the village of Raufarhoefn in the far north of Iceland. Kalmann Odinsson is the self-appointed Sheriff of his town. He is 34, neurodiverse and hunts Arctic foxes and catches gigantic Greenland sharks for a living. He was brought up by his grandfather who taught him how to hunt and fish and ‘nearly everything else a man needs to know about life’. One of his many dreams is to find a wife. But he must first extricate himself from the mess he gets into when he discovers a frozen pool of human blood in the winter snow. When it becomes apparent that local bigwig Robert McKenzie has just gone missing, the hunt is on to find McKenzie’s body and his murderer.
