Búrið Cage

Reykjavík Noir #3

The prison doors slam shut behind Agla, when her sentence ends, but her lover Sonja is not there to meet her.

As a group of foreign businessmen tries to draw Agla into an ingenious fraud that stretches from Iceland around the world, Agla and her former nemesis, María, find the stakes being raised at a terrifying speed.

Ruthless drug baron Ingimar will stop at nothing to protect his empire, but he has no idea about the powder keg he is sitting on in his own home.

At the same time, a deadly threat to Sonya and her family brings her from London back to Iceland, where she needs to settle scores with longstanding adversaries if she wants to stay alive.

Cage is the third and final installment in the Reykjavík Noir trilogy.

Reviews

“A gripping page-turner/…/ A riveting tale of love and conflict in a shadowy criminal underworld, with clear echoes of contemporary Icelandic society.”

Fréttablaðið, Iceland
“A terrific conclusion to an exciting trilogy (…) Lilja is a highly accomplished crime writer. She has a remarkable talent for weaving compelling subplots into what the reader believes is the main story, only for something entirely unexpected to emerge. She also maintains suspense with great skill, while the book’s short, punchy chapters keep the pace brisk and the narrative tightly focused.”
