Living on an abandoned farm cut off from the world by harsh nature was a very risky idea: on one side there was the icy northern sea, on the other—mountains that could be conquered only by crossing a snow-covered pass, and endless darkness… On an old photograph that ended up in Ari Thor’s hands—a policeman from a small Icelandic town—everyone involved in the tragedy that had unfolded here many years earlier was captured, including a young woman poisoned with rat poison…
Ari Thor sets out to shed light on this long-ago story—but will it become the beginning of a new life tragedy? Secrets from the past intertwine with mysteries of the present, and the investigation Ari Thor runs becomes intertwined with a kidnapping case and an inquiry into strange murders in Reykjavik.
“Rift” is the third novel in the series about Ari Thor, a global bestseller like the other works by Ragnar Jónasson, “the king of Scandinavian noir,” honored with prestigious literary awards and recognized as one of the best contemporary authors working in the detective genre.
