English

By (author): Lilja Sigurdardottir

Translated by: Lorenza Garcia

Icelandic investigator Áróra receives strange and devastating news about her missing sister, while her detective friend Daníel looks into the disappearance of a family friend. The twisty, addictive, award-winning series continues
 
A dark, twisty and pitch-perfect thriller. I will read anything Lilja writes I loved it Michael Wood
 
'A terrific tale with twist after twist Lilja Sigurdardottir is fast becoming my favourite Icelandic crime writer' The Times Book of the Month


_____________

When Áróra receives a call telling her that a child shes never met is claiming to be her missing sister reincarnated, she is devastated as ridiculous as the allegations might seem. For three years she has been searching for her sister without finding a single clue, and now this strange child seems to have new information.

On the same day, Icelandic detective Daníel returns home to find a note from his tenant, drag queen Lady Gúgúlú, giving notice on her flat and explaining that she has to leave the country. Daníel is immediately suspicious, and when three threatening men appear, looking for Lady, its clear to him that something is very wrong

And as Icelands long dark nights continue into springtime, that is just the very beginning

Twisty, intricately plotted and atmospheric, Dark as Night is the highly anticipated fourth book in the addictive An Áróra Investigation series, as Áróra and her friends face unimaginable danger and extraordinary experiences that may change everything, forever
