Some great opening lines:
There is a land beyond the forests. A land so beautiful that as you stand at the edge of the trees and gaze across the pastures to the snow-brushed mountains, you know that heaven is surely but a step away. From this land comes a song, and from that song comes a story. A story of murder.

London was chasing a small mining town across the
dried-out bed of the old North Sea.
