- Book 2 of 6: Dark Iceland
Ari Thór Arason and his colleagues on the tiny police force in Siglufjörður struggle with an increasingly perplexing case, while their own serious personal problems push them to the limit. As silent, unspoken horrors from the past threaten them all, and the darkness deepens, it’s a race against time to find the killer before someone else dies…
Dark, terrifying and complex, Blackout is an exceptional, atmospheric thriller from one of Iceland’s finest crime writers.
‘Jónasson’s books have breathed new life into Nordic Noir’ Jake Kerridge, Sunday Express
‘A distinctive blend of Nordic Noir and Golden Age detective fiction … economical and evocative prose, as well as some masterful prestidigitation’ Laura Wilson, Guardian
‘Jónasson’s writing is a masterful reinvention of the Golden Age classic style, both contemporary and timeless … enclosed by the poetic beauty of the location’ Crime Review
‘A classic crime story seen through a uniquely Icelandic lens … first rate and highly recommended’ Lee Child
'A modern take on an Agatha Christie-style mystery, as twisty as any slalom…’ Ian Rankin
