Having served out a sentence at Holmsheidi prison, Agla knows that there’s nothing and no one waiting for her on the outside—her lover, Sonja, is long gone. She’s therefore quick to jump at the opportunity when the representative of a foreign corporation seeks her assistance on a matter that requires discretion. It’s a complex case of fraud, something Agla knows all about. With the assistance of Maria, a freelance journalist, Agla begins to move in on the sharks. Aluminum kingpin Ingimar has had no reason to be on his guard, but when Maria starts asking uncomfortable questions, he acts immediately, and then it’s a game of cat and mouse. What he doesn’t know, however, is that his basement at home is full of dynamite, just waiting to go off...

Cage is the thrilling conclusion to Lilja Sigurdardottir’s trilogy about drug smuggling, financial crimes, and passionate love affairs in present-day Reykjavik. The series’ previous installments, Snare and Trap, were very well received and Cage promises to be as well. 373 pp
