The crunching noise had resumed, now accompanied by a disgusting, indefinable smell. It could best be described as a blend of kelp and rotten meat. The voice spoke again, now slightly louder and clearer: "Don't go. Don't go yet. I'm not finished."

In an isolated village in the Icelandic Westfjords, three friends set to work renovating a derelict house. But soon they realise they are not alone thereβ€”something wants them to leave, and it's making its presence felt.

Meanwhile, in a town across the fjord, a young doctor investigating the suicide of an elderly woman discovers that she was obsessed with his vanished son. When the two stories collide, the terrifying truth is uncovered...

Marie Claire calls it a "chilling ghost story" and a "don't-read-it-in-the-dark" experience. The Sunday Telegraph praises it as a "truly creepy combination of haunted house story and modern detection in Iceland". The Times warns it's "not to be read alone after dark". Laura Wilson of the Guardian describes it as "intriguing, entertaining, and very spooky indeed" while the Independent notes Sigurdardottir as a "supreme generator of fear" who relishes scaring readers.
