'As chilling as an Icelandic winter' S. J. Bolton 'Superior crime
fiction set in Iceland' The Times The discovery of a corpse washed
up on a beach in an Icelandic backwater sparks a series of events
that propels the village of Hvalvik's police sergeant Gunnhildur
into deep waters. Although under pressure to deal with the matter
quickly, she is suspicious that the man's death was no accident and
once she has identified the body, sets about investigating his
final hours. The case takes Gunnhildur away from her village and
into a cosmopolitan world of shady deals, government corruption and
violence. She finds herself alone and less than welcome in this
hostile environment as she tries to find out who it was that made
sure the young man drowned on a dark night one hundred kilometres
from where he should have been - and why. The first 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
