One true word

Snæbjörn Arngrímsson, 1961-2025
Books, Manuscripts
Why did she do it? After a day of simmering tension, Júlía snaps and abandons her husband Gíó on an uninhabited island in a freezing fjord in the depths of the Icelandic winter. When she returns the next morning, he is nowhere to be found. The police launch a manhunt, but soon their suspicion falls on Júlía. She spins them a story to hide her involvement, but she can feel the net closing in. Is Gíó alive or dead? In hiding or hunting her down? And can Júlía get to the truth before it destroys her?
