When Sonja's son is kidnapped by her ruthless ex-husband, she's
thrust back into the world of cocaine smuggling, but this time
she's got a plan of her own... High-stakes jeopardy presides in
book two of the dark and original, nail-bitingly fast-paced
Reykjavik Noir trilogy... 'Tense, edgy and delivering more than a
few unexpected twists and turns' Sunday Times 'Tough,
uncompromising and unsettling' Val McDermid 'Tense and pacey, this
intriguing mix of white-collar and white-powder crime could
certainly be enjoyed as a standalone, but I would suggest reading
its excellent predecessor, Snare, first' Guardian
------------------------ Happily settled in Florida, Sonja believes
she's finally escaped the trap set by unscrupulous drug lords. But
when her son Tomas is taken, she's back to square one ... and
Iceland. Her lover, Agla, is awaiting sentencing for financial
misconduct after the banking crash, and Sonja refuses to see her.
And that's not all ... Agla owes money to some extremely powerful
men, and they'll stop at nothing to get it back. With her former
nemesis, customs officer Bragi, on her side, Sonja puts her own
plan into motion, to bring down the drug barons and her scheming
ex-husband, and get Tomas back safely. But things aren't as
straightforward as they seem, and Sonja finds herself caught in the
centre of a trap that will put all of their lives at risk... Set in
Reykjavik - still covered in the dust of the Eyjafjallajoekull
volcanic eruption and the aftermath of the banking crisis - Trap is
an award-winning, deliciously dark and outstandingly original slice
of Nordic Noir, from one of Iceland's finest crime writers.
------------------------ Praise for the Reykjavik Noir Trilogy 'A
tense thriller with a highly unusual plot and interesting

taut and compelling' Jon Coates, Daily Express 'Pacey and tense,
Trap is full of delicious carnage that could translate well to the
screen' New Zealand Listener 'This is a searing portrait of the
less salubrious parts of the Icelandic psyche as well as a riveting
thriller' Sunday Express '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

hardboiled financial thriller and high-octane narco drama, filled
with sympathetic characters that you can't help identifying with
even as they break the law' Crime Fiction Lover 'The action is
fast, helped by the short chapters switching us from one set of
characters to another, the villains ruthless, and the undercover
world of Iceland vividly evoked. A treat for fans' Promoting Crime
'Smart, ambitious and hugely satisfying' Eva Dolan 'Zips along with
tension building and building' James Oswald 'An emotional suspense
rollercoaster on a par with The Firm' Alexandra Sokoloff

worthy addition to the icy-cold crime genre popularized by
Scandinavian noir novels' Foreword Reviews
