Description: "Two days before Christmas, a young woman is found dead beneath the cliffs of the deserted village of Kâalfshamarsvâik. Did she jump, or did something more sinister take place beneath the lighthouse and the abandoned old house on the remote rocky outcrop? With winter closing in and the snow falling relentlessly, Ari Thâor Arason discovers that the victim's mother and young sister also lost their lives in this same spot, twenty-five years earlier"--Back cover.
