Book description
A novella from the Number 1 bestselling author Michael Ridpath
Iceland, midwinter: the days are fleeting, the nights endless and
detective Magnus Jonson has been sent to an isolated fishing village
in the West Fjords to investigate the possible homicide of a road
construction worker. Ringed by steep mountains, this bleak village is
cut off from the rest of Iceland and from the modern world. The locals
are adamant that Iceland's legendary huldufólk - hidden people - had a
hand in the death. Magnus finds their superstition suspicious... As he
digs deeper, Magnus discovers that the victim was not a popular man,
leading him to suspect that other, more human, passions are at work...
Michael Ridpath's thrillers have been translated into 41
languages. He was born in Yorkshire and now lives with his wife and
three children in Hampstead, north London.
