Description
An abandoned luxury yacht arrives in Reykjavík harbour with nobody on board, leaving the crew and the family who sailed from Lisbon missing. When a child’s chilling voice declares that everyone is dead, the mystery takes an even darker turn. Thóra Guðmundsdóttir is hired by the young father’s parents to investigate and is soon drawn deeper into rumours that the vessel is cursed. When she boards the yacht, she thinks she sees one of the missing twins. Where is Karítas, the glamorous young wife of the yacht’s former owner, and whose body has washed up further along the shore? Yrsa Sigurðardóttir’s chilling crime novel won the 2015 Petrona Award. The author of the bestselling Thóra Guðmundsdóttir crime series and several standalone thrillers, she was born in Reykjavík, Iceland, in 1963, works as a civil engineer and made her crime-fiction debut in 2005 with Last Rituals. Her work has been translated into more than 30 languages and has been praised by the Times Literary Supplement as standing comparison with the finest contemporary crime writing anywhere in the world.
