Summary

"Officer Gunnhildur, recently promoted from her post in rural Iceland to Reyjkavík's Serious Crime Unit, is tasked with hunting down escaped convict Long Ommi, who has embarked on a spree of violent score-settling in and around the city. Meanwhile, she's also investigating the murder of a fitness guru in her own city-center apartment.
