About this listen
Award-winning author Elizabeth Hand brings us a searing and iconoclastic crime novel, in which photographer Cass Neary, introduced in the underground classic Generation Loss, finds herself drawn into the shadowy world of crime in Scandinavia's coldest corners.
As this riveting tour-de-force opens, the police already want to talk to Cass about a mysterious death she was involved with previously, but before they can bring her in, Cass accepts a job offer from overseas and hops on a plane.
In Helsinki, she authenticates a series of disturbing but stunning images taken by a famous fashion photographer who has cut himself off from the violent Nordic music scene where he first made his reputation. Paid off by her shady employer, she buys a one-way ticket to Reykjavik, in search of a lover from her own dark past.
But when the fashion photographer's mutilated corpse is discovered back in Finland, Cass finds herself sucked into a vortex of ancient myth and betrayal, vengeance and serial murder, set against a bone-splintering soundtrack of black metal and the terrifying beauty of the sunless Icelandic wilderness. Cass Neary finds her own worst fears confirmed: it's always darkest before it turns completely black.

Quirky
The Cass Neary stories are definitely quirky and a bit unsettling, but really original and well performed by Carol Mondo who captures and portrays the darkness well.

Nice dark weird story
Still a very fitting voice to this dark story with a twist. Hard to stop listening, too.

Grim listening
Hard going, extraordinarily grim and dark in places. But maybe you like that sort of thing.

Can’t stop
They are dark and sinister, and thus so unusual. Stories like these are a breath of fresh ( if constantly shocking) fresh air. But overwhelmingly such beautiful language, description and atmosphere, and the technical parts of all the photography, science and fact are cleverly balanced with the occult, strange and inexplicable.
Well done, now off to see if there are any more in this series
