THE STUNNING FINAL INSTALMENT OF THE MULTI-MILLION-COPY BESTSELLING
DARK ICELAND SERIES **Sunday Times BOOK OF THE MONTH** ‘Jónasson
is an automatic must-read for me … possibly the best Scandi
writer working today’ Lee Child ‘Is this the best crime
writer in the world today? … Truly a master of his
genre’ The Times 'The engaging Ari Thor returns in this

Cleeves ‘A stunningly atmospheric story. Ari Thór Arason returns
in this pitch-perfect, beautifully paced crime novel … Ragnar
Jónasson is at the top of his game, and a master of the
genre’ Will Dean ______________ A blizzard is approaching
Siglufjörður, and that can only mean one thing… When the body
of a nineteen-year-old girl is found on the main street of
Siglufjörður, Police Inspector Ari Thór battles a violent
Icelandic storm in an increasingly dangerous hunt for her killer
… The chilling, claustrophobic finale to the international
bestselling Dark Iceland series. Easter weekend is
approaching, and snow is gently falling in Siglufjörður, the
northernmost town in Iceland, as crowds of tourists arrive to visit
the majestic ski slopes. Ari Thór Arason is now a police
inspector, but he’s separated from his girlfriend, who lives in
Sweden with their three-year-old son. A family reunion is planned
for the holiday, but a violent blizzard is threatening and there is
an unsettling chill in the air. Three days before Easter, a
nineteen-year-old local girl falls to her death from the balcony of
a house on the main street. A perplexing entry in her diary
suggests that this may not be an accident, and when an old man in a
local nursing home writes ‘She was murdered’ again and again on
the wall of his room, there is every suggestion that something more
sinister lies at the heart of her death… As the extreme
weather closes in, cutting the power and access to Siglufjörður,
Ari Thór must piece together the puzzle to reveal a horrible truth
… one that will leave no one unscathed. Chilling, claustrophobic
and disturbing, Winterkill is a startling addition to
the multi-million-copy bestselling Dark Iceland series and cements
Ragnar Jónasson as one of the most exciting and acclaimed authors
in crime fiction. _______________ Praise for Ragnar Jónasson ‘A
sinister twisted tragedy’ The Times ‘If
Iceland missed out on the Golden Age of crime writing,

now’ Sunday Times ‘Outstanding … Series fans will be
