What to expect

A chilling new case for Thora Gudmundsdottir, from Iceland's answer to Stieg Larsson.

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 woman who vanished from the site some months earlier? Why are the locals so hostile? And could one of the team staying at the site with Thora be responsible for the disappearances?

Already an international bestseller, this fourth audiobook to feature Thora Gudmundsdottir ('a delight' - Guardian) is chilling, unsettling and addictive.

Critics Review

Yrsa is one of the most exciting new voices in the crime thriller world.
Henning Mankell and Stieg Larsson have helped to 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.
Mail on Sunday
A gripping thriller with enough mystery and horror to keep you sitting on the edge of your seat while you try to work out what happened.
Put simply, it's terrifying. And brilliant.
