Despite the fact that the crime novelist, Solveig Karls-dottir had sworn never to interfere in any criminal pro-ceedings again she suddenly finds herself on a new case. Isolda Thorsdottir, Reykjavik's Elf Representative, is found shot in the Elf Park she loved so much and Solveig, who coincidentally arrives at the crime scene at the same time as Chief Inspector Finsen, discovers little Yrsa there, too. The distraught girl obviously witnessed the crime and from now on wraps herself in complete silence. She only appears to have trust in Solveig, but will she be able to get the girl to speak? Did the child see the killer? Does she perhaps even know him? Solveig and Inspector Finsen delve into the mystical world of the Elves, so well looked after by Isolda. They discover that someone had broken into the deceased's office, a lucrative construction project that could not be realised due to a report made ready by Isolda and they also - bit by bit - hear of little Yrsa's sad suspicion.
