A Stunning Standalone Thriller from the Queen of Iceland Noir!
Shortlisted for the Glass Key Award for Best Nordic Crime Novel!
When aid worker Úrsula returns to Iceland for a new job, she is drawn into the dangerous worlds of politics, corruption, and misogyny. This powerful, relevant, and fast-paced standalone thriller will keep you on the edge of your seat!
Burned out and traumatized by her horrifying experiences around the world, Úrsula has returned to Iceland. Unable to settle, she accepts a high-profile government role in which she hopes to make a difference again.
But on her first day in the post, Úrsula promises to help a mother seeking justice for her daughter, who had been raped by a policeman. Life in high office soon becomes much more harrowing than Úrsula could ever have imagined.
A homeless man is stalking her – but is he hounding her, or warning her of some danger? And why has the death of her father in police custody so many years earlier reared its head again?
As Úrsula is drawn into dirty politics, facing increasingly deadly threats, the lives of her stalker, her bodyguard, and even a witch-like cleaning lady intertwine. Small betrayals become large ones, and the stakes are raised ever higher.
