'Superior crime fiction set in Iceland' The Times 'As chilling as
an Icelandic winter' S. J. Bolton Snowed in with a couple of
psychopaths for the winter . . . When two small-time crooks rob
Reykjavik's premier drugs dealer, hoping for a quick escape to the
sun, their plans start to unravel after their getaway driver fails
to show. Tensions mount between the pair and the two women they
have grabbed as hostages when they find themselves holed upcountry
in an isolated hotel. Back in the capital, Gunnhildur, Eirikur and
Helgi find themselves at a dead end investigating what appear to be
the unrelated disappearance of a mother, her daughter and their car
during a day's shopping, and the death of a thief in a house fire.
Gunna and her team are faced with a set of riddles but as more
people are quizzed it begins to emerge that all these unrelated
incidents are in fact linked. And at the same time, two
increasingly desperate lowlifes have no choice but to make some big
decisions on how to get rid of their accidental hostages... The
fifth gripping 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.
