"When Arora receives a call telling her that a child she's never met is claiming to be her missing sister reincarnated, she is devastated. . . as ridiculous as the allegations might seem. For three years she has been searching for her sister without finding a single clue, and now this strange child seems to have new information. On the same day, Icelandic Detective Daniel returns home to find a note from his tenant, drag queen Lady Gugulu, giving notice on her flat and explaining that she has to leave the country. Daniel is immediately suspicious, and when three threatening men appear, looking for the Lady, it's clear to him that something is very wrong. . ."

[French] - Froid comme l'enfer: Les Enquêtes d'Aurora

"Aurora vit en Angleterre et sa sœur Isafold en Islande, elles sont très différentes et ont des relations compliquées. Isafold disparaît et leur mère, ne faisant pas la différence entre enquêtrice financière et enquêtrice policière, supplie Arora d'aller chercher sa sœur. Arora ne peut pas s'empêcher de pratiquer ce qu'elle fait de mieux, démasquer les fraudeurs et les faire payer. Elle va donc profiter de ce voyage pour examiner de près certains investissements financiers douteux, et analyser la corruption islandaise tout en testant ses capacités de séduction sur deux hommes. Elle découvrira surtout la violence domestique à laquelle était soumise Isafold et qu'elle niait farouchement subir ; au cours des témoignages qu'elle reçoit, elle voit évoluer les nuances de ses sentiments pour sa sœur. En même temps, des personnages inquiétants émergent peu à peu. Nous suivons son enquête au fil des détails qu'elle nous donne sur les façons de vivre et de se parler, et par ce travail de dentelière elle nous fait entrer dans un monde plus complexe que ce dont il a l'air. Ce livre audio est interprété par une voix humaine, dans le respect des engagements d'Hardigan."
