In treacherous weather the merchant vessel Per Se is about to cast off from its Icelandic port, bound for Suriname, far across the other side of the world. Each of the nine crew members carries his own secret -and some have blood on their hands. For many this will be their final voyage, a journey of sabotage, mutiny, pirates and devil worship, and a descent into darkness, horror and madness. The Ship is a gripping and claustrophobic high-concept thriller and the winner of the 2007 Drop of Blood prize for the best Icelandic crime novel. |
