FIRE AND ICE introduces Magnus Jonson, an Iceland-born Boston-raised homicide detective seconded to the Icelandic police force after an attempt on his life by a drugs cartel in Boston. Magnus immediately becomes involved in a murder investigation after the body of a university professor is found at a summer house by a lake outside Reykjavík. Magnus discovers that two obsessive LORD OF THE RINGS fans, an Englishman and an American, have been negotiating to buy a previously undiscovered ancient saga from the professor – allegedly the saga on which Tolkien's masterpiece was based. Such a saga would be priceless without the Tolkien connection. With it, and with the possibility of the fabled actual ring existing, men could be driven to murder.
