All he wants is for them to say sorry...In the latest novel from the Queen of Icelandic crime, Freyja and Huldar must stop a ruthless killer taking revenge on teenage bullies.

The new novel from the internationally bestselling, prizewinning, queen of Icelandic crime.

All he wants is for them to say sorry.

The police find out about the crime the way everyone does: on Snapchat. The video shows the terrified victim begging for forgiveness. When her body is found, it is marked with a number 2...

Detective Huldar joins the investigation, bringing child psychologist Freyja on board to help question the murdered teenager's friends. Soon, they uncover that Stella was far from the angel people claim - but even so, who could have hated her enough to kill?

Then another teenager goes missing, and more clips are sent. Freyja and Huldar can agree on two things at least: the truth is far from simple. And the killer is not done yet. 


A brilliantly suspenseful story about the dark side of social media, The Absolution will make you wonder what you should have said sorry for...

Another great book by Yrsa, I couldn’t put it down. I have really enjoyed this series and the developing relationship between the two main characters. This book was full of suspense and intrigue. I really like the delve into the human psyche of many of the characters. I can’t wait to read the next book!
