Lýst er eftir átta ára stúlku sem hverfur úr skólanum einn haustdag. Undarlegur spádómur unglings kemur upp úr hylki sem innsiglað var fyrir tíu árum, í kjölfarið taka voveiflegir atburðir að gerast í Reykjavík. Og lögreglan er ráðalaus.
Hér stíga fram á sviðið sömu aðalpersónur og í síðustu bók Yrsu Sigurðardóttur, DNA, bestu íslensku glæpasögunni árið 2014.
Sogið er ellefta glæpasaga Yrsu en Þriðja táknið kom út fyrir nákvæmlega tíu árum. Á þessum tíma hefur hún í tvígang fengið Blóðdropann fyrir bestu íslensku glæpasöguna og í fyrra átti hún bestu norrænu glæpasöguna í Bretlandi.
