'Superior crime fiction set in Iceland' The Times 'As chilling as
an Icelandic winter' S. J. Bolton Hidden away in a secure house
outside Reykjavik, Detective Gunna and a high-profile stranger, a
guest of the interiors minister, are thrown together - too close
for comfort. They soon find they are neither as safe nor as
carefully hidden as Gunna and her boss had thought. Conflicting
glimpses of the man's past start to emerge as the press begin to
sniff him out, as does another group with their own reasons for
locating him. Gunna struggles to come to terms with protecting the
life of a man who may have the lives of many on his conscience - or
indeed may be the philanthropist he claims to be. Isolated
together, the friction grows between Gunna and the foreign visitor,
and she realises they are out of their depth as the trails lead
from the house outside Reykjavik to Brussels, Russia and the Middle
East. The sixth dark and atmospheric thriller in Quentin Bates's
Icelandic crime series. A chilling page-turner perfect for fans of
Jo Nesbo, Henning Mankell and Soren Sveistrup's The Chestnut Man.
