Murder Tide

The ruthless businessman left to drown by the rising tide at the dock by Reykjavík's Grótta lighthouse had never been short of enemies. The police have their suspect, and he calls in Stella Blómkvist to fight his corner as he furiously protests his innocence. Yet this angry fisherman had more reason than many to bear the dead man a grudge. It's a busy summer for razor-tongued, no-nonsense lawyer Stella. A young woman looking for a long-lost parent finds more than she bargained for. An old adversary calls from prison, looking for Stella to broker a dangerous deal with the police to put one of the city's untouchable crime lords behind bars at long last. Is the mysterious medium right, warning that deep waters are waiting for Stella as well? 'Stella is a force of nature' – Mark Sanderson, The Times It's trademark Stella Blómkvist, a tightly-plotted triple-decker rollercoaster of murder, revenge, betrayal – and the unexpected.
