Detective Gunnhildur 'Gunna' Gisladottir is back, and thrown together with a high-profile stranger, a guest of the interiors minister, in a secure house outside Reykjavik. It's a little too close for comfort . . .

They soon find they are neither as safe nor as carefully hidden as Gunna and her boss had thought. Conflicting glimpses of the man's past start to emerge as the press begin to sniff him out, as does another group with their own reasons for locating him.

Gunna struggles to come to terms with protecting the life of a man who may have the lives of many on his conscience - or can she believe that he's actually the philanthropist he claims to be?

Isolated together, the friction grows between Gunna and the foreign visitor, and she realises they are out of their depth as the trails lead from the house and beyond Iceland to to Brussels, Russia and the Middle East.

The sixth dark and atmospheric thriller in Quentin Bates's Icelandic crime series. A chilling page-turner perfect for fans of Jo Nesbo, Henning Mankell and Soren Sveistrup's The Chestnut Man.
