Schism

Settled on an abandoned farm, cut off from the world by harsh nature, was a very risky idea. On one side there is the icy northern sea, on the other there are mountains that can only be overcome through a pass covered with snow and impenetrable darkness... An old photograph that fell into the hands of Ari Thor, a policeman from a small Icelandic town, depicts all the participants in the enacted there were tragedies here many years ago, among them a young woman poisoned by rat poison... Ari Thor undertakes to shed light on this old story, but will it become the beginning of a new life drama?.. The secrets of the past are connected with the mysteries of the present, and the consequence, led by Ari Thor, is intertwined with the case of a child abduction and the investigation of strange murders in Reykjavik. The Shattering is the third novel in the Ari Thor series, which has become a worldwide bestseller, like the other works of Ragnar Jonasson, the “king of Scandinavian noir,” awarded prestigious literary awards and recognized as one of the best contemporary writers working in the detective genre.
