Into Oblivion, the follow-up to the gritty prequel Reykjavik Nights, gives devoted fans another glimpse of Erlendur in his early days as a young, budding detective. It's 1979. A woman swims in a remote, milky-blue lagoon. Steam rises from the water and as it clears, a body is revealed in the ghostly light. Miles away, a vast aircraft hangar rises behind the perimeter fence of the US military base. A sickening thud is heard as a man's body falls from a high platform. Many years before, a schoolgirl went missing. The world has forgotten her. But Erlendur has not. Erlendur is a newly promoted detective. He is only starting out, but he is already deeply involved in his work. The writer whose work The New York Times describes as "having the sweep and consequence of epic storytelling," has outdone himself in this multi-layered and masterful suspense story.

He is inexorably drawn into a world where everyone is either in the dark or on the run.

Osoittautuu että mies ei suinkaan hukkunut lampeen, vaan kuoli pudottuaan jostain korkealta. Tämä tutkimuslinja johtaa amerikkalaisten tukikohdassa Keflavíkissa olevaan valtavaan lentokonehalliin. Mutta Erlenduria vaivaa jälleen myös vanha tapaus.

Samaan aikaan on selvitettävä ajankohtaista kuolemaa, jossa erityisenä vaikeutena on se, että tukikohdassa ei oikeastaan ollakaan Islannin maaperällä.
