Tariq Ashkanani ' Lilja Sigurdardottir is rapidly becoming my favourite Icelandic writer. She doesn' t waste a word as she creates her twisty mysteries and her sly sense of humour highlights her clear-eyed view of human nature' The Times ' The Icelandic scenery and weather are beautifully evoked - you can almost feel the autumn fog seeping up from the pages - but it is the corkscrew twists that make it both chilling and mesmerising' Daily Mail _____________________________ When entrepreneur Flosi arrives home for dinner one night, he discovers that his house has been ransacked, and his wife Gudrun missing. A letter on the kitchen table confirms that she has been kidnapped. If Flosi doesn' t agree to pay an enormous ransom, Gudrun will be killed. Forbidden from contacting the police, he gets in touch with Á ró ra, who specialises in finding hidden assets, and she, alongside her detective friend Daniel, try to get to the bottom of the case without anyone catching on.
