Depths
The thriller The Depths is the third installment in Yrsa Sigurðardóttir' s suspenseful Black Ice series.
A skeleton, which appears to have been buried in the ground for many years, is found and exhumed at a recycling center in Reykjavík. Police officers Týr and Karó are not assigned to the case, but are asked to help in a neighborly dispute that has escalated to dangerous proportions. However, they soon find themselves in the middle of a murder investigation.
Meanwhile, young cook Gunndís decides to follow in her late father' s footsteps and takes a temporary job aboard a large fishing boat. When he finds a book that belonged to his father and which is supposed to be somewhere at the bottom of the sea, he begins to fear for his life.
Although Týr and Karó do not realize it at first, all the events are connected by a terrible accident many years ago, when a fishing boat caught fire at sea and sank into the depths of the ocean with the crew trapped inside.
