The darkness knows / Arnaldur Indriðason ; translated from the Icelandic by Victoria Cribb. - London, England : Harvill Secker, 2021 - 338 pages ; 24 cm. - Detective Konrad 1 . - Detective Konrad ; 1 .

A frozen body is discovered in the icy depths of Langjökull glacier, apparently that of a businessman who disappeared thirty years before. At the time, an extensive search and police investigation yielded no results-one of the missing man's business associates was briefly held in custody, but there wasn't enough evidence to charge him. Now the associate is arrested again and Konrad, the retired policeman who originally investigated the disappearance, is called back to reopen the case that has weighed on his mind for decades. When a woman approaches him with new information that she obtained from her deceased brother, progress can finally be made in solving this long-cold case.
