The Darkness: A Thriller

By Ragnar Jónasson

Book Overview

"A bullet train of a novel, at once blazingly contemporary and Agatha-Christie old-fashioned.... I dare you not to be shocked." --Gregg Hurwitz, New York Times bestselling author

The body of a young Russian woman washes up on a remote Icelandic beach. She came looking for safety, but instead she found a watery grave.

A hasty police investigation determines her death as suicide and the case is quietly closed.

When Detective Inspector Hulda Hermannsd?ttir of the Reykjavik police is forced into early retirement, she is told she can investigate one last cold case of her choice--and she knows which one. The Russian woman whose hope for asylum ended on the dark, cold shore of an unfamiliar country. Soon Hulda discovers that another young woman vanished at the same time, and that no one is telling her the whole story. Even her colleagues in the police seem determined to put the brakes on her investigation. Meanwhile the clock is ticking.

Hulda will find the killer, even if it means putting her own life in danger.

Spanning the icy streets of Reykjavik, the Icelandic highlands and cold, isolated fjords, The Darkness is the first in a new atmospheric and complex thriller series from Ragnar J?nasson, the award-winning author of the internationally bestselling Ari Thor thrillers.

So good but that ending…

I’m reading the Dark Iceland series by the same author now and I hope to high h€ll there is a cross over so as not to leave the readers hanging. Wonderful writer but you don’t always get the ending you hope for.
