Synopsis

When all contact is lost with two Icelanders working in a harsh and sparsely populated area on the northeast coast of Greenland, Thora is hired to investigate. Is there any connection with the disappearance of a woman from the site some months earlier? And why are the locals so hostile? Already an international bestseller, this fourth book to feature Thora Gudmundsdottir ('a delight' - Guardian) is chilling, unsettling and compulsively readable.

Media Reviews
'Put simply, it's terrifying. And brilliant.' Stylist 'Put simply, it's terrifying. And brilliant.' Stylist 'As with the other books in this series there is humour and warmth. Atmospheric, complex and compelling with an unexpected ending.' www.shotsmag.co.uk As with the other books in this series there is humour and warmth. Atmospheric, complex and compelling with an unexpected ending. www.shotsmag.co.uk Publishers and blurb writers are competing to hail the new monarch of Nordic crime fiction ... I would be tempted to offer a name not from the obvious crime soil of Sweden or Norway, but from bleak and moody Iceland ... Marcel Berlins, The Times 'Sigurdardottir uses her novel to expose the impact of the modern world on remote Inuit communities.' The Canberra Times 'If you are looking for something a bit different try this Icelandic writer and her feisty lawyer heroine, Thora. ' Mail on Sunday 'Superbly atmospheric' Heat 'The twists and turns are as chilling as the weather ... [a] pageturner.' Bella It's another complex case for Thora, liveliest granny on the floes, and deeply satisfying for the warm-toed reader. Independent Henning Mankell and Stieg Larsson have helped make Scandinavian crime fiction a global phenomenon, but if you're looking for something a bit different try this Icelandic writer and her feisty lawyer heroine, Thora.
