'Nordic crime drama at its best!' - Amazon reviewer, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
'It was galloping along at a rate of knots, I couldn't put it down' - Amazon reviewer, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
'As chilling as an Icelandic winter' - Sharon Bolton
---------------
The discovery of a corpse washed up on a beach in an Icelandic backwater sparks a series of events that propels Sergeant Gunnhildur Gísladóttir into deep waters . . .
Although under pressure to deal with the matter quickly, she is suspicious that the man's death was no accident.
The case takes Gunnhildur away from her village and into a cosmopolitan world of shady deals, government corruption and violence. She finds herself alone and less than welcome in this hostile environment as she tries to find out who it was that made sure the young man drowned on a dark night one hundred kilometres from where he should have been - and why.
The first chilling and atmospheric thriller in Quentin Bates's Icelandic crime series. A dark page-turner perfect for fans of Jo Nesbo, Henning Mankell and Søren Sveistrup's The Chestnut Man.
