TEACHER WANTED AT THE EDGE OF THE WORLD. . .

After the loss of her father, Una sees a chance to escape Reykjavík to tutor two girls in the tiny village of Skálar—population just ten—on Iceland's storm-battered north coast.

But city life hasn't prepared her for the unforgiving weather or inhospitable village life. Worse, the creaky old house where she lives is playing on her already fragile mind when she's convinced she hears the ghostly sound of singing.

Then, at midwinter, a young girl is found dead.

And one of the villagers must have blood on their hands. . .

An intensely gripping mystery

The Times
Invigorating Iceland-set slice of Nordic Noir

Daily Mail
With the addition of sinister hostility from the locals, the bleakest of landscapes, and some supernatural undertones, this is one creepy thriller that'll have you leaving all the lights on

Vogue Scandinavia, Best Nordic Noir Books of All Time

Praise for Ragnar Jónasson

This is Icelandic noir of the highest order, with Jónasson's atmospheric sense of place, and his heroine's unerring humanity shining from every page

Daily Mail
Triumphant conclusion. Chilling, creepy, perceptive, almost unbearably tense

Ian Rankin
This is such a tense, gripping read

Anthony Horowitz
Brilliantly effective. Each book enraptures us

The Times Literary Supplement
Superb. . . chilling. . . one of the great tragic heroines.
