------------------------ After a messy divorce, young mother Sonia
is struggling to provide for herself and keep custody of her son.
With her back to the wall, she resorts to smuggling cocaine into
Iceland, and finds herself caught up in a ruthless criminal world.
As she desperately looks for a way out of trouble, she must pit her
wits against her nemesis, Bragi, a customs officer, whose years of
experience frustrate her new and evermore daring strategies. Things
become even more complicated when Sonia embarks on a relationship
with a woman, Agla. Once a high-level bank executive, Agla is
currently being prosecuted in the aftermath of the Icelandic
financial crash. Set in a Reykjavik still covered in the dust of
the Eyjafjallajoekull volcanic eruption, and with a dark,
fast-paced and chilling plot and intriguing characters, Snare is an
outstandingly original and sexy Nordic crime thriller, from one of
the most exciting new names in crime fiction.
------------------------ 'A tense thriller with a highly unusual
plot and interesting characters' The Times 'Tense, edgy and
delivering more than a few unexpected twists and turns' Sunday
Times 'Sharp shocks of chapters hit with increasing energy ... a
towering powerhouse of read and I gobbled it up in one intense
sitting' LoveReading 'The intricate plot is breathtakingly
original, with many twists and turns you never see coming. Thriller
of the year' New York Journal of Books 'This first novel of a
planned trilogy is stylish, taut and compelling and a film
adaptation is in the pipeline. With characters you can't help
sympathising with against your better judgement, Sigurdardottir
takes the reader on a breathtaking ride' Daily Express 'Lilja
Sigurdardottir delivers a diabolically efficient thriller with an
ultrarealistic plot ... We cannot wait for Sonja's next adventure'
L'Express 'A smart, ambitious, and hugely satisfying thriller.
Striking in its originality and written with all the style and
poise of an old hand. Lilja is destined for Scandi super stardom'
Eva Dolan 'For a small island, Iceland produces some extraordinary
writers, and Lilja is one of the best. Snare is an enthralling tale
of love and crime that stays with you long after you have turned
the last page' Michael Ridpath 'Zips along, with tension building
and building ... thoroughly recommended' James Oswald 'Crisp,
assured and nail-bitingly tense, Snare is an exceptional read,
cementing Lilja's place as one of Iceland's most outstanding crime
writers' Yrsa Sigurdardottir 'Clear your diary. As soon as you
begin reading Snare, you won't be able to stop until the final
page' Michael Wood 'Snare is a great read and the finale is both
shocking and unexpected ... a Wizard-of-Oz ending, without the
laughs. Terrific and original stuff' European Literature Network
