Synopsis

There are rumours in Iceland of an eight hundred- year-old manuscript containing a saga about a ring of terrible power. If found, the saga could be worth killing for. And it costs Professor Agnar Haraldsson his life. Boston-raised detective, Magnus Jonson, has returned to the country of his birth to investigate the long-ago unsolved murder of his father. And as Magnus is about to discover, the past casts a long shadow in Iceland.
