Sacrifice

Présentation de l'éditeur 'One of the best thrillers ever' SOPHIE HANNAH Consultant surgeon Tora Hamilton has moved to remote Shetland to be with her husband. To have a family. Not for this . . . In the peat soil near her new home she uncovers a perfectly preserved woman's body. Runic symbols are carved into her skin. Her heart has been cut out. But as Tora begins to ask questions around the island, she receives her first threat . . . Quatrième de couverture Moving to remote Shetland has been unsettling enough for consultant surgeon Tora Hamilton, even before the gruesome discovery she makes one rain-drenched afternoon . . . The corpse I could cope with. It was the context that threw me . . . Deep in the peat soil of her field she uncovers the body of a young woman. Her heart has been removed, and the marks etched into the woman's skin bear an eerie resemblance to carvings Tora has seen in her own cellar. And there I'd been, thinking the day couldn't possibly get any worse. But as Tora begins to ask questions, terrifying threats start rolling in like the cold island mists . . .
