IAN RANKIN "Jónasson skillfully alternates points of view and shifts of time.... The action builds to a shattering climax." —PUBLISHERS WEEKLY (BOXED AND STARRED REVIEW) "This classically crafted whodunit holds up nicely, but Jónasson's true gift is for describing the daunting beauty of the fierce setting." — THE NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW "A chiller of a thriller." —THE WASHINGTON POST "Seductive... an old-fashioned murder mystery.
