Pre-order the final nail-biting instalment in the critically acclaimed Hidden Iceland series

'No country associated with the label Nordic noir is as bleak, cold, snowy and empty as Iceland. And no crime writer portrays those elements as evocatively and scarily as Ragnar Jónasson' The Times

1987. An isolated farm house in the east of Iceland. The snowstorm should have shut everybody out. But it didn't.The couple should never have let him in. But they did.An unexpected guest, a liar, a killer. Not all will survive the night. And Detective Hulda will be haunted forever.Praise for Ragnar Jónasson
