1987. An isolated farm house in the east of Iceland.

Critics Review
-
It is nothing less than a landmark in modern crime fiction
The Times -
A world-class crime writer. One of the most astonishing plots of modern crime fiction. A triumphant conclusion to the trilogy [that] makes Iceland’s pre-eminence in the crime genre even more marked
Sunday Times -
Is this the best crime writer in the world today? . . . He’s truly a master of his genre
The Times Online -
This is Icelandic noir of the highest order, with Jonasson’s atmospheric sense of place, and his heroine’s unerring humanity shining from every page
Daily Mail -
This is such a tense, gripping read
-
Triumphant . . . Other writers have explored the possibilities of telling a story in reverse; thus far only Ragnar Jonasson has rendered hindsight so heartbreaking
