THE NEW GRIPPING MYSTERY FROM 'NEXT-GEN NORDIC STAR' (LA TIMES) AND SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR, RAGNAR JONASSON

'ONE OF THE FINEST CRIME WRITERS IN THE WORLD TODAY' DAILY MAIL

‘Jónasson is an automatic must-read for me . . . possibly the best Scandi writer working today’ LEE CHILD

‘A master of the Icelandic thriller’ NEW YORK POST

----

One winter evening, bestselling crime author Elín S. Jónsdóttir goes missing.

There are no clues to her disappearance and it is up to young detective, Helgi, to crack the case before it's leaked to the press.

As he interviews the people closest to her – a publisher, an accountant, a retired judge – he realises that Elín’s life wasn’t what it seemed. In fact, her past is even stranger than her stories.

As the case of the missing crime writer becomes more mysterious by the hour, Helgi must uncover the secrets of a very unexpected life, before someone else goes missing . . .

Ragnar Jónasson is the award-winning Icelandic author of the international bestselling Hulda series, the Dark Iceland series, and standalone crime fiction, with five million copies sold across 36 territories. Ragnar was also an executive producer of the CBS Studios TV series The Darkness, based on the first novel in his Hulda series, starring Lena Olin and directed by Lasse Hallström. His novel Outside is being developed for the screen by Ridley Scott.
