COLD BLOOD: BOOK TWO OF THE GLACIER TRILOGY

Some children were never meant to be found.Six weeks after giving birth, investigative journalist Hekla Jónsdóttir should be learning how to live as a mother. Instead, she is awake in the dark, searching through parish records, death certificates, and decades-old lies.The first truth shattered her life: she was a stolen child.The second truth may destroy far more.Across Iceland, women are beginning to come forward. Mothers who were told their babies died. Mothers who were never shown a body. Mothers who have spent thirty years wondering whether grief was the only thing they were allowed to keep.When Hekla finds the name of Hildur Sigurðardóttir - a controlled, brilliant family lawyer in Akureyri - the investigation turns painfully personal. Hildur may be Hekla's sister. She may also be the key to exposing a hidden network of midwives, pastors, officials, and families who decided which women deserved to keep their children.At the center of it all lies a white ledger.A record of births that became deaths. Of children who vanished. Of women no one believed.But some secrets are still being protected. And the closer Hekla and Hildur get to the truth, the clearer it becomes: the past is not finished with them.Cold Blood is Book Two in The Glacier Trilogy, a haunting Nordic psychological thriller about stolen children, buried records, sisterhood, motherhood, and the terrible cost of uncovering the truth.Perfect for readers who love atmospheric crime fiction, dark family secrets, cold case mysteries, and emotionally charged Scandinavian suspense.
