Beschreibung

It's New Year and Iceland is still reeling from the effects of the financial crash when a notorious financier is found beaten to death after a high-profile reception at the President's residence.
The police are certain they have the killer – or do they? Determined to get to the truth, maverick lawyer Stella Blómkvist isn't so sure.  'Stella is a force of nature: She drinks Jack Daniels and uses the Alice B Toklas cookbook' – Mark Sanderson, The Times
A stripper disappears from one of city's seediest nightspots, and nobody but Stella seems interested in finding her. A drug mule cooling his heels in a prison cell refuses to speak to anyone but Stella – although she's never heard of him. An old man makes a deathbed confession and request for Stella to find the family he lost long ago.
'I had never heard of Stella Blómkvist, but I guarantee I'll never forget her!' – Christoffer Petersen
With a sharp tongue and a moral compass all of her own, Stella Blómkvist has a talent for attracting trouble and she's as at home in the corridors of power as in the dark corners of Reykjavík's underworld.
Stella Blómkvist delivers an explosive mix of murder, intrigue and surprise, and is one of Iceland's best-loved crime series.

    In the year 2041, Captain Stan Rhodes returns to Planet Mars with a fresh crew and resumes exploring a region called the Cydonia Complex. Investigating architectural wonders from an ancient civilization, they revisit a magnificent five-sided pyramid discovered on the first mission and survey its subterranean passageways. When searching for the ruins of a city called Gaugamar forever buried in the sand, the team is asked by mission planners to penetrate the outer shell of another monument. This leads them to breaching a burial shrine from an older kingdom built for a monarch named Nemnasu. Within the funerary chamber of this monument they encounter an extraordinary life-force, and a text explains how this entity, comprised of a mass of energy, came to be interned in the tomb. The mission is further threatened when one of the team contracts an ancient disease. Coping with horrifically monstrous changes in this individual’s physiology causes this crewmember to become mentally deranged, and in this altered state this person is no longer recognized as human, but seen as something entirely different. Come and join this crew of five as they make new discoveries while struggling to survive on the Red Planet.Special thanks goes to NASA for providing the satellite photos of the Mars surface used in this title.
