Arctic Chill (2005)

Erlendur #7

The body of a dead child is found in the gardens of a Reykjavik apartment block on a cold January day; a young dark-skinned boy, lies face-down in his own blood, frozen to the ice. When the  police arrive on the scene, they suspect a horrific crime. Erlendur, Elinborg and Sigurdur Oli start their investigation and, through the darkness and the blizzards, gradually uncover facts that turn out to be chillier than an Arctic winter night.
