The crew of three and a family of four thatwere supposed to deliver the yacht to Reykjavik are missing when it reaches the harbor. Apparently, the parents of the missing family had taken out huge life insurance policies prior to the journey and now it's up to lawyer Thóra Gudmundsdóttir to get the insurance company to shell out. To do so she must prove that the happily married couple has indeed passed away. As bodies begin to wash ashore, Thóra’s investigation unravels the mystery regarding the occurrences that took place during the journey from Lisbon to Reykjavik. At the same time the reader gets to know how numerous uncanny incidences onboard reached a tragic crescendo. --.
