Omschrijving

'Gives other Icelandic crime books a serious run for their money' - Amazon reviewer, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

'If you love whodunnits then you'll love Gunnhildur - tough but pragmatic with a caring streak, she's quickly become my favourite investigator' - Amazon reviewer, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

---------------

Sergeant Gunnhildur Gísladóttir is back, with two very different, and seemingly unconnected cases . . . but are they really poles apart?

Following her promotion and working now from Reykjavik, Icelandic detective Sergeant Gunnhildur Gísladóttir is given responsibility for two cases: Tracking down an escaped convict who's keen to settle old scores; and the murder of a TV fitness presenter in her city centre apartment.

With the police short-staffed and underfunded following the financial crash, Gunnhildur and her team set about delving into the backgrounds of both, where they uncover some unwelcome secrets and some influential friends with every reason to keep out of the public eye.

Working in an Iceland that is coming to terms with the deepening recession, Gunnhildur has to take stock of the whirlwind changes that have taken place as she investigates criminals at opposite ends of the social spectrum, but with surprising connections . . .

The second chilling and atmospheric instalment of Quentin Bates' series of Icelandic crime thrillers. A dark page-turner perfect for fans of Jo Nesbo, Henning Mankell and Søren Sveistrup's The Chestnut Man.

'A jolly good read!'- Amazon reviewer, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

'Quentin Bates has created a wonderful detective who is competent and respected for her skill, tough when she has to be, angry and outspoken when necessary, compassionate and empathetic when appropriate, and tired and grumpy when frustrated.

'Kept me guessing to the end'- Amazon reviewer, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

'Plenty of twists and turns'- Amazon reviewer, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
