The ruthless businessman left to drown by the rising tide at the dock by Reykjavik's Grotta lighthouse had never been short of enemies. The police have their suspect, and he calls in Stella Blomkvist to fight his corner as he furiously protests his innocence. Yet this angry fisherman had more reason than many to bear the dead man a grudge.
It's a busy summer for razor-tongued, no-nonsense lawyer Stella. A young woman looking for a long-lost parent finds more than she bargained for. An old adversary calls from prison, looking for Stella to broker a dangerous deal with the police to put one of the city's untouchable crime lords behind bars at long last.
Is the mysterious medium right, warning that deep waters are waiting for Stella as well?
Stella Blomkvist has been a bestseller in Iceland since the first books appeared in the 1990s, and has attracted an international audience since the TV series starring Heida Reed aired. The books feature unforgiving, razor-tongued, Reykjavik lawyer Stella Blomkvist, with her taste for neat whiskey, a liking for easy money and a moral compass all of her own - and who is at home in the corridors of power as in the city's darkest nightspots.
The books have been published under a pseudonym that still hasn't been cracked. The question of Stella Blomkvist's identity is one that crops up regularly, but it looks like it's going to remain a mystery...
