The Legacy is the first in the Children's House (Freyja and Huldar) series by Yrsa Sigurdardottir. Per SYKM, its original title seems to have been DNA, which really didn't need translation, I think, but... SYKM indicates this title won't be out in the US until Feb, 2018, but in the UK, it's already out and on sale for £0.99 at Kindle UK. I've enjoyed the author's Thóra Gudmundsdottir series, and look forward to trying this one.

Spoiler:

The first in an exciting new series from the author of THE SILENCE OF THE SEA, winner of the 2015 Petrona Award for best Scandinavian Crime Novel.

The murder was meant as a punishment - but what sin could justify the method?

The only person who might have answers is the victim's seven-year-old daughter, found hiding in the room where her mother died. And she's not talking.

Newly promoted, out of his depth, detective Huldar turns to Freyja and the Children's House for their expertise with traumatised young people. Freyja, who distrusts the police in general and Huldar in particular, isn't best pleased. But she's determined to keep little Margret safe.

It may prove tricky. The killer is leaving them strange clues: warnings in text messages, sums scribbled on bits of paper, numbers broadcast on the radio. He's telling a dark and secret story - but how can they crack the code? And if they do, will they be next?
