Old dolls covered with scabs but with a nipple around the neck are pulled out of the sea with unpredictable consequences. The director of the shelter is accused of a serious crime. An outsider feels murdered. And tourists disappear without a trace. In The Puppet, Huldar the policeman and Freyja the psychologist are in the lead role in an amazing crime story. The story speaks directly into the contemporary, just like Yrsa Sigur?ardÔottir's previous books where Huldar and Freyja are the main characters. The books about them have received little praise and received various awards internationally.
