Yrsa Sigurðardóttir

A murder on the unforgiving Icelandic coast unearths a dark past in this thriller by the acclaimed author of Last Rituals.

Attorney and single mother Thóra Gudmundsdóttir is on the west coast of Iceland, where a client named Jonas is turning an old farm into a New Age spa. In this ruggedly beautiful region of lore and superstition, Thóra has no patience for local tales of hauntings. But some horrors are all too real—as when a young woman is brutally murdered, and Jonas becomes the chief suspect. 

As Thóra digs deep into the farm's past, discovering long-buried secrets, her once-solid view of reality begins to waver. Could the farm truly be haunted? And more importantly, does its eerie past have some connection to the murder? When another body is discovered—looking very much like the first—Thóra is forced to put aside her doubts and confront a twisted killer.

My Soul to Take: A Novel of Iceland

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.
