Ashes to Dust

Bodies are discovered in one of the excavated houses at a volcanic tourist attraction dubbed 'The Pompeii of the North'. Markus Magnusson, who was only a teenager when the volcano erupted, falls under suspicion and hires attorney Thora Gudmundsdottir to defend him - but when his childhood sweetheart is murdered his case starts to look more difficult, and the locals seem oddly reluctant to back him up… The third crime novel from international bestseller Yrsa Sigurdardottir, and the third featuring her popular heroine Thora, Ashes To Dust is tense, taut and terrifying.
