About the book: 2021 / Kata is a nurse from the oncology department of a Reykjavik hospital and has seen a lot of pain and suffering in her life. But they were strangers, not hers... She understood what real suffering was when her daughter disappeared without a trace, and then, a year later, the girl’s body was discovered. The identities of the probable rapists and murderers - and there were three of them - were determined quite quickly, but they had nothing to show: there was no direct evidence left.

Our world is cruel and dangerous. But there is nothing and no one more dangerous than a woman who is forced to defend herself…
