It is with great excitement that St. Martin’s Griffin and Minotaur Books bring bestselling Icelandic author Yrsa Sigurdardottir's newest thriller ASHES TO DUST—One of the Year’s Top Ten Crime Books in the UK—to the US… In 1973, a volcanic eruption buried an entire Icelandic village in lava and ash. Now this macabre tourist attraction proves deadly once again—when the discovery of fresh bodies casts a shadow of suspicion onto Markus Magnusson, a man accused of killing his childhood sweetheart. His attorney Thora Gudmundsdottir finds that her client has a most inventive story to tell. But the locals seem oddly reluctant to back him up… Filled with unforgettable characters, unexpected twists, and superb psychological suspense, Ashes to Dust is a superlative thriller from an acclaimed master of Nordic fiction. “Sigurdardottir delivers terrific clammy atmosphere and frequent frissons of fear; she is entitled to join the front rank of Nordic crime writers.”—THE TIMES (UK) “Brilliantly plotted and chilling.”—THE DAILY MIRROR (UK)
