ABOUT THE BOOK
Siglufjörður: a quiet fishing village in the far north of Iceland, where no one locks their doors, and which can be reached only through a small mountain tunnel.
Ari Thór Arason is a rookie policeman on his first posting, far from his girlfriend in Reykjavík, with a past he cannot leave behind. When a young woman is found lying half-naked and unconscious in the snow, and a respected elderly writer falls to his death in the local theatre, Ari is dragged into the heart of a community where he can trust no one.
As avalanches close the mountain pass and the endless winter darkness closes in, the tension mounts, and Ari is pushed ever deeper into his own darkness – blinded by snow, with a killer on the loose. The first in the Dark Iceland series.
