This book will send a chill down your spine
After a break-up, education student Sóldís urgently needs to find a new place to live and a job, so she enthusiastically accepts a position as a private tutor for the daughters of a wealthy couple living in a luxurious mansion in a remote, secluded corner of the western Icelandic countryside. Although her employers make a somewhat unsettling impression and life in the lonely place gradually begins to fill her with ominous forebodings, she decides to grit her teeth and overcome her fears. Is it the right move?
After years in Sweden, police investigator Týr returns to his native Iceland because, at a turning point in his life, he longs for a new beginning. Soon after joining the criminal investigation team in Reykjavik, he must join the search for the perpetrator of a crime he could not have imagined in his worst nightmares in the peaceful island nation—a brutal quadruple murder. But in the end, his sleep will be disturbed by even more terrifying nightmares than the image of the lifeless eyes of four innocent victims.
