Publisher Description: When the gutted body of a businessman is discovered in the Icelandic embassy in Berlin, Iceland's best detectives are sent to Germany to investigate the crime. The stab wounds and the murder weapon--an elegant hunting knife--suggest a ritualistic killing. But the only suspects present in the sleek modern office building were some of the island nation's cultural elite, including J n the Sun Poet and ceramics artist L dv k Bjarnason. The victim is someone few would miss, and investigators Birkir and Gunnar, joined by forensics expert Anna Th rdard ttir, wager they have an open-and-shut case on their hands. What they find is anything but: The crime reeks of premeditation and vengeance, and leads the team into a sordid tale of international child abuse, arson, and retribution. |
