The ship is the Per Se, a merchant vessel bound for exotic Suriname, a world away from the bitter rain and treacherous seas of Iceland. Each of the nine crew members carries a secret — some even have blood on their hands — but none realises that this may be their final voyage. And how could they know that they are about to embark on a journey of sabotage, mutiny, pirates and devil worship, and a descent into darkness, horror and madness?
Stéfan Máni is the Icelandic Stephen King and The Ship is a compulsively readable thriller and winner of the Drop of Blood, Iceland’s premier crime fiction prize.
