Publisher's Summary

A chilling 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 best seller, this fourth audiobook to feature Thora Gudmundsdottir is chilling, unsettling and addictive.

Not my favorite from the author

I usually appreciate Sigurdardottir's books. This one I never managed to get into. All the characters as either unpleasant or incompetent - who would really think sending out a divorce lawyer in a faraway mining station to work out why people vanished? By the third hour I was hoping all the characters would be taken out one by one à la Agatha Christie's Ten Little Soldiers. I gave up 3 hours from the end.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
