'Iceland's outstanding crime novelist' Daily Express On a jagged,
bleak lava field just outside Reykjavik stands the Gallows Rock.
Once a place of execution, it is now a tourist attraction. Until
this morning, when a man was found hanging from it... The nail
embedded in his chest proves it wasn't suicide. But when the police
go to his flat, a further puzzle awaits: a four-year-old boy has
been left there. He doesn't seem to have any link with the victim,
his parents cannot be found, and his drawings show he witnessed
something terrible. As detective Huldar hunts the killer, and child
psychologist Freyja looks for the boy's parents, the mystery
unfolds: a story of violence, entitlement, and revenge. Praise for
Yrsa Sigurdardottir 'Iceland's outstanding crime novelist' Daily
Express 'A magnificent writer' Karin Slaughter 'The undisputed
queen of Icelandic Noir' Simon Kernick 'Believe all the hype - this
is crime at its best' Heat NetGalley Reader Reviews 'Just as
compelling as the previous books in the series. All of Yrsa
Sigurdardottir's books are extremely well written and a joy to
read. There is plenty of suspense and twists in this story (. . .)
I read this book in one sitting, I was unable to put it down.
Highly recommended' 'There is such a skill to the author's writing,
the way in which she creates tension and atmosphere and uses
setting to bring and edge to the story, that it is difficult to put
down. And she brings such a range of emotions out in me as a reader
that I feel slightly battered myself when I finish reading . . .
Truly powerful storytelling and characters I have come to love' 'I
was hooked from the very first page and enthralled and completely
drawn in throughout the book. (. . .) This is a story which builds
and weaves perfectly. It's so twisty' 'Twists galore and a
surprising ending, this is a book you'll want to devour in one
sitting'
