An old man is found murdered in his flat, with the picture of a child's grave and a cryptic message. Inspector Erlendur uncovers that many years ago he raped a woman and fathered her child who died at an early age. The mother killed herself a few years later because of the grief of losing her daughter. So who else could have had a motive? Were there other women who finally took their revenge? Or was it one of the old man's buddies, who were just as bad as he was?

This is a very good who-done-it? The locale is Iceland, and the solution to the crime lies there.
