An Icelandic lawyer investigates the murder of a witchcraft-obsessed student in this тАЬsuspenseful, compelling and uniqueтАЭ thriller (Kirkus).
When a wealthy German student is found murdered at a university in Reykjav├нk, the police waste no time making an arrest. But the young manтАЩs body was disturbingly mutilatedтАФthe eyes cut out and strange symbols carved into his chest. Was this really the work of a local drug dealer?
Believing the real killer to still be at large, the victimтАЩs family hires local lawyer Th├│ra Gudmundsd├│ttir to investigate. It isn't long before Th├│ra and her associate, Matthew Reich, uncover the deceased student's obsession with Iceland's grisly history of torture, execution, and witch hunts. But there are contemporary horrors hidden in the shadows of these dark traditions. And for two suddenly endangered investigators, nothing is quite what it seems . . . and no one can be trusted.
