Mystery
The spellbinding debut and international
sensation being published in thirty countries featuring
Thóra Gudmundsdóttir, a smart, sexy lawyer and investigator
whose hunt for a modern murderer points to a very odd—and
evil—chapter in Iceland's past After
the body of a young German student—with his eyes cut out and
strange symbols carved into his chest—is discovered at a
university in Reykjavík, the police waste no time in making
an arrest. The victim's family isn't convinced they have the
right man, however, so they ask Thóra Gudmundsdóttir,
attorney and single mother of two, to investigate. The fee
is considerable—more than enough to make things a bit easier
for the struggling lawyer and her children. It's
not long before Thóra and Matthew Reich, her new associate,
discover something unusual about the deceased student: He
had been obsessed with the country's grisly history of
torture, execution, and witch hunts—a topic made all the
more peculiar by the fact that unlike witch hunts in other
countries, those in Iceland had targeted men . . . not
women. As Thóra and Matthew dig deeper, they make
the connection between long-bygone customs and the student's
murder. But the shadow of dark traditions conceals secrets
in both the past and the present, and the investigators soon
realize that nothing is as it seems . . . and that no one
can be trusted.
