Black as Death - (An Arora Investigation) by Lilja Sigurdardóttir (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

When the chief suspect in the disappearance of Áróra's sister is found dead, and Áróra's new financial investigation leads to the street where her sister was last scene, she is drawn into a shocking case that threatens everything . . . The chilling, twisty, award-winning series continues . . .

When the fate of Áróra's missing sister, Isafold, is discovered, Áróra is relieved that she can halt a search that has taken over her life, even if the mystery remains unsolved. But when Isafold's boyfriend - chief suspect in her disappearance - is found dead in the same place that Isafold's body was found, Áróra begins to lose her grip on reality.

To distract herself, she dives headfirst into a money-laundering case that her friend Daníel is investigating. But she finds that there is more than meets the eye, and once again, all leads point towards Engihjalli, the street where Isafold lived and died, and a series of shocking secrets that could explain and endanger everything . . .

Atmospheric, dark and chilling, Black as Death is the much-anticipated finale to the addictive, twisty An Áróra Investigation series, as Áróra and her friends search for answers that may take them to places even darker than death.
