A raven flits about a cold Reykjavík and watches events that will have consequences, seeing what human eyes miss: money changing hands, cats run over, houses burned and men shot like animals. When Ása happens on a body in a gravel heap in the north of the country, much that was hidden comes into view. What drives people to clear others out of their way, and what happens when restraints fall away one after another? A crime novel that draws on Njáls saga and ties the fates of Icelanders past and present together.
