~ Quotes from the book.

• Kirkus: “Jónasson, who could give lessons on how to sustain a chilly atmosphere, sprinkles just enough hints of ghostly agents to make you wonder if he’s going to fall back on a paranormal resolution to the mystery. Don’t worry: The solution is both uncanny and all-too-human.”
• Publishers Weekly: “Jónasson delivers a mind-bending look into human darkness that earns its twists.”
