THE STUNNING FINAL INSTALMENT OF THE MILLION-COPY BESTSELLING DARK
ICELAND SERIES 'A world-class crime writer' Sunday Times
’Ragnar Jónasson writes with a chilling, poetic
beauty’ Peter James ‘Ragnar does claustrophobia
beautifully’ Ann Cleeves 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 marks the startling conclusion
to the million-copy bestselling Dark Iceland series and
cements Ragnar Jónasson as one of the most exciting authors
in crime fiction. Praise for Ragnar Jónasson ‘Nothing
less than a landmark in modern crime fiction' The Times 'This
is Icelandic noir of the highest order, with Jónasson's
atmospheric sense of place, and his heroine's unerring humanity
shining from every page' Daily Mail ‘Chilling, creepy,
perceptive, almost unbearably tense' Ian Rankin 'This
is such a tense, gripping read' Anthony Horowitz 'Fans
of dark crime fiction that doesn't pull punches will be amply
rewarded' Publishers Weekly ’Traditional and beautifully
finessed’ Independent ‘Jónasson’s true gift is for
describing the daunting beauty of the fierce setting, lashed by
blinding snowstorms that smother the village in “a thick, white
darkness” that is strangely comforting’ New York Times
