An Icelandic lawyer investigates the murder of a witchcraft-obsessed student in this "suspenseful, compelling and unique" thriller (Kirkus).

When a wealthy German student is found murdered at a university in Reykjavík, the police waste no time making an arrest. But the young man's body was disturbingly mutilated -- the eyes cut out and strange symbols carved into his chest. Was this really the work of a local drug dealer?

Believing the real killer to still be at large, the victim's family hires local lawyer Thóra Gudmundsdóttir to investigate. It isn't long before Thóra and her associate, Matthew Reich, uncover the deceased student's obsession with Iceland's grisly history of torture, execution, and witch hunts. But there are contemporary horrors hidden in the shadows of these dark traditions. And for two suddenly endangered investigators, nothing is quite what it seems... and no one can be trusted.
