The Tar story line continues as Emilia Augustine is distraught over Spike's crimes and jets off to Iceland to distract herself with a winter road trip around the frozen bitter country. The first book in the Tar collection showcased the origin of a strange new drug and it's connection to an ancient myth. The Tarmaker is about realization and confrontation, asking who you can truly trust, and what lies beneath lust, love and betrayal. Emilia, Spike, Willem, Mick and Marjo are all in for a curious ride.
