Eclipse

In a remote place in northern Iceland, a mutilated body has been discovered. Police officer Ari Tor, who is assigned to the investigation, tries to gather all the information about the crime victim to understand the reasons for the tragedy. However, the identity of the deceased interests not only the police officer. A journalist from Reykjavik is conducting a parallel investigation, motivated not only by a desire to write a sensational report. At the same time, in an abandoned village near the crime scene, a Nepalese girl is locked up, waiting for death…

The number of mysteries increases, the past plays with the present, tension rises, and the plot lines intertwine into a tight knot.

«Eclipse» is the second book in the series about Ari Tor, a young detective who, leaving his home and beloved in Reykjavik, arrived to serve in the police in a small town in the north of the country, cut off from the rest of the world by harsh nature. The novel was released immediately following «Snow Blindness» and was very successful with readers, just like other books by Ragnar Jónasson, the «king of Scandinavian Noir,» who has received prestigious literary awards and is recognized as one of the best contemporary writers working in the detective genre.
