Publisher's Synopsis
?You will never find peace or solace. Forever burn?? reads the bloody letter received by Amelia Gotlieb days after her son Harald is found dead in the History Faculty of Reykjav?k. His eyes have been torn out of his body and strange symbols engraved on his skin, leaving forensic scientists in horrified silence. Unhappy with police efforts, Harald's parents hire an Icelandic and a German lawyer to investigate the crime. Taken to the most inhospitable corner of Iceland, an area where dozens of people were once accused of witchcraft and murdered, the two lawyers will look for the key to unlock the murder that seems inspired by the ancient rituals.
