Description
The Falck family is one of the most influential families in Norway. With their foundation, the Saga, they oversee the preservation of the country’s historical archives, a position that allows them to occupy a strategic role in the national power balances. Just appointed director of the Saga, Sasha Falck organizes a research expedition to Spitsbergen, the most populated of the Svalbard islands. It is here, in this part of the world that promises great wealth, that the appetites of the heirs of one of the most important shipping dynasties in Scandinavia are now focused; and it is here, in an area of significant geopolitical interest, that cousin Connie holds a mining concession, a source of tension between Norwegian intelligence and Putin’s Russia. But the poisoning death of a Russian colonel, who revealed the existence of a mole within the foundation, triggers a diplomatic incident that threatens to bring to light the buried secrets of the Falck family. In the wake of Succession, the sequel to Il cimitero del mare is a new, thrilling blend of family saga and thriller: strong emotions, forbidden loves, and power struggles, politics and double-crossing, all skillfully woven into a breath-taking plot, showing how chance encounters can change the course of lives, and of history itself.
