De: Michael Ridpath

Narrado por: Seán Barrett

Iceland, 1934. Two boys playing see something they shouldn't have. The consequences will haunt them and their families for generations.

Iceland, 2009. The credit crunch bites. The currency has been devalued, savings annihilated, lives ruined. Grassroots revolution is in the air, as is the feeling that someone ought to pay.... And in a country where everyone knows everybody, it isn't hard to draw up a list of exactly who is responsible. And then, one by one, to cross them off.

Iceland 2010. As bankers and politicians start to die, at home and abroad, it is up to Magnus Jonson to unravel the web of conspirators. But while Magnus investigates the crimes of the present, the crimes of the past are catching up with him.

Fantastic story!

This is a beautifully written and well-crafted Icelandic crime novel, with plenty of twists and turns and a thrilling conclusion. Excellent reader, too. Outstanding all around!

Here it is - a great Icelandic Noir. Hours of
story telling at it best. From a slow-to-boring
beginning to a thoroughly satisfactory conclusion the author so cleverly works bit
of magic on his reader. The narrator is
outstanding. I promise, there are mysterious
mulrders in it, no gore.
