'Superior crime fiction set in Iceland' The Times 'As chilling as
an Icelandic winter' S. J. Bolton Following her promotion and
working now from Reykjavik, Gunnhildur is given responsibility for
two cases - the first in tracking down an escaped convict who's
keen to settle old scores, and the other, the murder of a TV
fitness presenter in her city centre apartment. With the police
short staffed and underfunded following the financial crash,
Gunnhildur and her team set about delving into the backgrounds of
both, where they uncover some unwelcome secrets and some
influential friends of both who have no wish to be in the public
eye. Set in an Iceland that is coming to terms with the deepening
recession, Gunnhildur has to take stock of the whirlwind changes
that have taken place as she investigates criminals at opposite
ends of the social scale as some uncomfortable links appear between
the two cases. The second chilling and atmospheric thriller in
Quentin Bates's Icelandic crime series. A dark page-turner perfect
for fans of Jo Nesbo, Henning Mankell and Soren Sveistrup's The
Chestnut Man. Praise for Quentin Bates: 'A great read - leaves you
craving the next installment' Yrsa Sigurdardottir 'A perfect book
to curl up with in front of the fire' The Bookbag 'Well written and
absorbing' Woman's Way 'Captures the chilly spirit of Nordic crime
fiction . . . Fans of Arnaldur Indridason's Reykjavik mysteries
will want to add Bates to their reading lists' Booklist '[A]
crackling fiction debut ... palpable authenticity' Publishers
