`Traditional and beautifully finessed... morally more equivocal than most traditional whodunnits, and it offers alluring glimpses of darker, and infinitely more threatening horizons' Independent; `Jonasson's books have breathed new life into Nordic noir' Sunday Express; `Bitingly contemporary in setting and tone' Express * `A modern take on an Agatha Christie-style mystery, as twisty as any slalom...' Ian Rankin; `A classic crime story seen through a uniquely Icelandic lens ... first rate and highly recommended' Lee Child; `Chilling, poetic beauty... a must read!' Peter James; `British aficionados of Nordic Noir are familiar with two excellent Icelandic writers, Arnaldur Indridason and Yrsa Sigurdardottir. Here's a third: Ragnar Jonasson ... the darkness and cold are palpable' Marcel Berlins, The Times
