Description

A Danish cryptographer's body is discovered on a deserted island off Iceland's western coast in 1960. As the investigation unfolds, a mysterious link to a medieval manuscript known as The Book of Flatey is revealed. This dark and complex case involves ancient legends, symbology, and secret societies. Another body is found on the tiny islands off Iceland, this time with a mutilation consistent with the blood eagle. Kjartan, tasked with investigating the crime, must navigate a treacherous world of Norse mythology and symbolism to uncover the truth behind the killings. The author's masterful handling of Nordic crime fiction keeps readers guessing until the very end.
