Discover the decades-old secrets that lie beneath the freezing Icelandic glaciers in this absolutely unputdownable historical mystery.
Amid Iceland's wild, volcanic landscape, rumours swirl of an eight-hundred-year-old manuscript inscribed with a long-lost saga that could be worth a fortune . . . or even killing for.
Untangling murder from myth is Iceland-born, Boston-raised homicide detective Magnus Jonson. Seconded to the Icelandic Police Force, 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.
Showcasing Iceland's landscape and history, secrets and superstitions in a strikingly original plot that spans several volumes, Where the Shadows Lie is the first in a thrilling new series from an established master of the genre.
Perfect for fans of Jussi Adler-Olsen, Ragnar Jónasson, Jørn Lier Horst and Ken Follett.
