As Magnus becomes more involved in the current investigation, he finds more and more of his past coming back to haunt him. Will he be able to deal with the crimes of his past and still solve the murders of the present?
Michael Ridpath's prose and narrative easily transports readers to a cold, barren country with a small population who must learn to deal with financial upheaval along with the rest of the world. Characterization feels right on target with the intriguing plotline in FAR NORTH.
Book Summary
In Iceland, revenge is best served at arctic temperatures…
Iceland 1934: Two boys playing in the lava fields that surround their isolated farmsteads see something they shouldn't have. The consequences will haunt them and their families for generations.
Iceland 2009: the credit crunch bites. The currency has been devalued, banks nationalized, savings annihilated, lives ruined. Grassroots revolution is in the air, as is the feeling that someone ought to pay...ought to pay the blood price. And in a country with a population of just 300,000 souls, in a country where everyone knows everybody, it isn't hard to draw up a list of exactly who is responsible.
