________
In a deadly Icelandic snowstorm, four friends seek shelter in an abandoned hunting lodge. Miles from help, and knowing they will die out in the cold, they break in, hoping to wait out the storm until morning.
But nothing can prepare them for what's inside . . .
With no other option, they are forced to spend a long and terrifying night in the cabin: watching as intently and silently as they themselves are being watched.
As the night darkens, old secrets spill into the light, and tensions rise between the four friends. Soon it's clear that what they've discovered in the cabin is far from the only mystery lurking there.
Nor the only thing to be afraid of . . .

Recenzii
Jónasson is an automatic must-read for me . . . possibly the best Scandi writer working today
Triumphant . . . Chilling, creepy, perceptive, almost unbearably tense
Aworld-classcrime writer. One of themost astonishing plots of modern crime fiction.Atriumphantconclusion to the trilogy [that]makes Iceland's pre-eminence in the crime genre even more marked
A master of the Icelandic thriller.
Is this the best crime writer in the world today? . . . He's truly a master of his genre
InvigoratingIceland-set slice ofNordic Noir
Fiendishy clever
Triumphantconclusion to the trilogy. Only Ragnar Jónasson has rendered hindsight so heartbreaking
A mist-shrouded blend of horror and psychological thriller . . . works in every way.The isolated village and the pre-smartphone 1980s setting createa sense of claustrophobia that combines with the villagers' secrecy and the hint of supernatural elements to infuse strong forebodingthroughout what is ultimately revealed to be a story about trust
The Icelandic king of crime
Few among the country's authors match Jonasson in conveying insular abandonment . . . excellent
It is nothing less than a landmark in modern crime fiction
