Synopsis
Aldis hates her job working in a juvenile detention center in rural Iceland. The boys are difficult, the owners are unpleasant, and there are mysterious noises at night. And then two of the boys go astray . . .
Decades later, single father Odinn is looking into alleged abuse at the center. The more he finds out, though, the more it seems the odd events of the 1970s are linked to the accident that killed his ex-wife. Was her death something more sinister?
Yrsa Sigurdardottir is a huge European bestseller both with her crime and horror novels. You might want to sleep with the light on after reading The Undesired. . .

"Someone to Watch Over Me seductively weaves together two seemingly disparate stories." --Cleveland Plain Dealer (Grade: A)
"An involving, dark tale." --Booklist on Someone to Watch Over Me

"Drives to a shattering climax that honors the traditions of both detective fiction and ghost stories." --Kirkus Reviews on I Remember You

"A solid bet for fans of Scandinavian mysteries." ―Library Journal
"Someone To Watch Over Me, just out, has already seen Yrsa Sigurdardóttir inevitably labeled 'Iceland's answer to Stieg Larsson." ―The Independent (UK)
