Book description
Amid Iceland's wild, volcanic landscape, rumours swirl of an
eight-hundred-year-old manuscript inscribed with a long-lost saga
about a ring of terrible power. A rediscovered saga alone would be
worth a fortune, but, if the rumours can be believed, there is
something much more valuable about this one. Something worth killing
for. Something that will cost Professor Agnar Haraldsson his life.
Untangling murder from myth is Iceland-born, Boston-raised homicide
detective Magnus Jonson. Seconded to the Icelandic Police Force for
his own protection after he runs afoul of a drug cartel back in
Boston, Magnus also has his own reasons for returning to the country
of his birth for the first time in nearly two decades - the unsolved
murder of his father. And as Magnus is about to discover, the past
casts a long shadow in Iceland. Binding Iceland's landscape and
history, secrets and superstitions in a strikingly original plot that
will span several volumes, Where the Shadows Lie is the first in a
thrilling new series from an established master.
