Publisher: Briarstone Press (sarawinokur.com)
Ancient chess pieces. A centuries-old diary. And a modern killer closing in.
When Icelandic forensic geneticist Brynja Pálsdóttir,
haunted by her family’s dark legacy, is drawn into the search for the
missing Lewis Chessmen, she becomes a pawn in an assassin’s deadly
game.
A centuries-old diary, written by a woman abducted during the brutal
Barbary pirate raid on Iceland in 1627, lands on her desk. Brynja soon
realizes the woman’s story may hold the key to finding the priceless
medieval artifacts.
As Brynja digs deeper, she becomes the target, surrounded by
deception and unsure of whom she can trust: the NYPD colleague hiding her
own motives, the sculptor whose family lays claim to the chessmen, the lover
she has spurned, even her own assistant.
As the past and present collide, betrayal, loss, and survival transcend
time and place.
Ivory Bones: The Lewis Chessmen Murders is a gripping blend of Nordic noir,
historical intrigue, and murder mystery, where ancient secrets and modern
dangers force Brynja to face a dark, inner truth before the assassin makes
their final move.
