Reykjavik by Ragnar Jónasson and Katrín Jakobsdóttir

Reykjavík by Ragnar Jónasson and Katrín Jakobsdóttir is a captivating cold case mystery that transcends the boundaries of the genre. Set in Iceland, the novel delves into the heart of the country, its culture, and its people. The story revolves around the disappearance of fifteen-year-old Lara Marteinsdottir in 1956. She spends the summer working on the small island of Videy, just off the coast of Reykjavik, but vanishes without a trace. The mystery becomes Iceland’s greatest unsolved case. Thirty years later, in August 1986, journalist Valur Robertsson investigates Lara’s disappearance as the city of Reykjavik celebrates its 200th anniversary. As Valur draws closer to the truth, he faces powerful forces determined to keep the secret buried. “Reykjavík” is a tale of loss, justice, and the unyielding pursuit of truth, beautifully woven against the backdrop of Iceland’s haunting landscapes.
