MY SOUL TO TAKE by Yrsa Sigurdardottir - SIGNED FIRST EDITION BOOK
See all titles by Yrsa Sigurdardottir.Long-buried secrets go hand in hand with modern-day murder in this
second thriller featuring attorney Thóra Gudmundsdóttir from Iceland's
queen of crime fiction
When the body of a young woman—badly
beaten and with pins inserted into her feet—is found at a New Age
health resort in a renovated farmhouse, lawyer and single mother of two
Thóra Gudmundsdóttir is called upon to represent the chief suspect, the
resort's owner. But upon her arrival she encounters more than a fresh
corpse—local legend has it that the resort, located in the mystical
region of Snæfellsnes on Iceland's west coast, is haunted. At first
Thóra dismisses the claims as nothing more than myth and superstition,
but even she can't explain the bizarre occurrences she witnesses in her
search for answers.
As Thóra digs deeper into the farm's past,
she discovers long-buried information on the property's disturbing
history, and her once-solid view of reality begins to waver. Are the
hauntings real, or just a case of folklore gone wild? And, more
important, does the farm's eerie past have something to do with the
murder? When another body is discovered—looking very much like the
first—Thóra is forced to put aside her doubts and confront the horrors
of the present before a twisted killer strikes again.
With its
confident plotting, chilling atmosphere, and smart, compelling heroine,
My Soul to Take confirms Yrsa Sigurdardóttir as a new maven of
mysteries.
