Follow up to Generation Loss... again, Cassandra Neary finds herself in the center of a deadly situation directly due to her singular, cult book of photography... Norway, Iceland, black metal...

I can’t believe I’ve never heard of this author before this month. These books are well-written, chewy, crime novels. More!

Boy this series is gritty. Not for the faint hearted. But a really good fast paced mystery, I do like the protagonist, even though she's SUCH a mess!! I read this one in a day, just can't stop turning these pages. And I hear this series only gets better, so #3, here I come!

Things get colder and darker and louder for Cass Neary as she flees New York for Helsinki to consult on what turn out to be some beautiful but horrifying pictures. Her next stop is Iceland in search of a very old flame, but it turns out she's left some bodies in her wake and maybe it's the drugs and the booze feeding her paranoia, but she thinks the killer might be coming for her next. Steeped in the angry raw noise of death metal rock and the remnants of a resurgent Nordic religion and some frankly psychotic behaviour that seems even beyond the scope of damage connoisseur Cass Neary to properly process or cope with and in the end it's just about all she can do to survive and get the hell out.
Cass abides out on the far edge of the remnants of a long-lost scene, wasted and wasting, and this feels like her European tour of even more frightening and forgotten jagged edges. Hand has an eye and an ear for the relics of deranged sub-cultures and twists their ancient sins into riveting modern thrillers.
