A body is found off the coast of Iceland.
A cursory police investigation calls it suicide. She's just another statistic, soon forgotten.
But not by Reykjavik Detective Inspector Hulda Hermannsdóttir.
Difficult and unconventional, Hulda is being forced into early retirement.
Offered one last cold case to investigate she chooses Elena's.
And when she discovers another woman vanished at a similar time, she believes a killer roams free.
With days before she's stripped of her badge, can Hulda catch the killer alone?

Superb
Icelandic detective Hulda Hermannsdottir is the best tragic heroine our reviewer has read for years
A superb thriller
A complex, fascinating mix of Icelandic community and alienation, atmospheric tension, and timely issues(immigrant exploitation and vigilante justice),Jonasson's latest series is another must-read for crime fans who follow the work of Arnaldur Indridason and Yrsa Sigurdardottir
I've ONLY recently discovered the extraordinary Icelandic writer who addsseveral shades of darkness to Nordic noir . . .it builds to a deeply shocking climax
If you have ever doubted the appropriateness of the phrase 'Nordic noir', The Darkness will dispel any hesitation. . . in what way this happens (and how badly) is the strength of the book.There are ever-darker surprises,culminating in a finish that leaves one with a highly disturbing image.
The wait was worthwhileandThe Darknessfirst in the new trilogy, isa very efficient piece of work.Jonasson has thefull measure of the Nordic noir genre, and pushes all the requisite buttons
To read Ragnar Jonasson is to plunge into snowy Iceland . . .much of its atmosphere and subtle pacing to the traditional'golden age' detective fiction as the mystery unfolds and builds to a startling climax, elegantly handled.
Superb. . .Chilling. . . andestablishes her as a great tragic heroine of modern detective fiction
Outstanding series debut . . . builds to its stunning conclusion, one of the more remarkable in recent crime fiction
The Darknessmelds an insightful character study with a solid plot for an outstanding novel
The perfect territory for mystery [writers]
Extraordinary, the three books in that series are all amazing . . . very moving all the way through
It'sshockingly sinisterand has an ending that will leave you, literally, gasping for breath
The ending really took my breath away and that's hard for writers to do to me these days . . . It was a complete surprise and I should have seen it coming and I didn't. [Hulda] is a fantastic, complex 3D character and I want to see more of her, so hurray, this is the first of a three book series
The Darkness will have you burning the midnight oil till 2:00am. It's a gloriously compelling yarn, whose spell continues to hold even when you've turned its final page thanks to its unexpected ending. I can't wait for his next
Expertly plotted, with an ending that's a true shocker,The Darknessis the first book in a trilogy featuring this engaging investigator, which is good news
Chilling - a must-read
Page-turning stuff with an unexpected ending!
Was gripped from the start of this brilliantly told story. And left wide-eyed with shock at the ending
A true masterpiece . . . a plot full of twists and turns and an ending that leaves you gasping for air
As chilling as the nip in the Icelandic air
Crime fiction has never seen a character quite like Hulda Hermannsdóittir; nor a series launch so entirely willing to take risks and obliterate long-standing tropes . . . There is no doubt thatThe Darknesswill rank as one of the most popular and powerful reading experiences of the year
Breathtaking. Read it in two sittings. Yet another instant Ragnar Jonasson classic
The Darknessis a bullet train of a novel, at once blazingly contemporary and Agatha-Christie old-fashioned. With prose as pure and crisp as Reykjavik snowcrust, Ragnar Jónasson navigates the treacherous narrative with a veteran's hand. I reached the end with adrenalized anticipation, the final twist hitting me in the face. I dare you not to be shocked.
The Darknessis Ragnar Jonasson at the top of his game - deft plotting, a great central character and a story as chilling as the Icelandic winter. I couldn't put it down
It had an intense, visceral sense of place and the connection between the emotional lives of the character and the landscape was evoked beautifully
It will get your pulse racing, and keep you hooked to the last page
Magnificently dark and twisted and that ending - blimey!
Praise for Ragnar Jónasson
Jónasson is an automatic must-read for me . . . possibly the best Scandi writer working today
Superb. . . chilling . . . This is the first volume in Jonasson's Hidden Iceland trilogy, which tells Hulda's story in reverse chronological order and establishes her as one of the great tragic heroines of contemporary detective fiction
A sympathetic yet entirely unsentimental portrait of a flawed but decent detective seeking justice for a murdered Russian asylum seeker
Another masterpiece from the King of Icelandic Noir
Unbearably sinister
The Darknessis a true masterpiece of a crime novel, introducing an original protagonist, a plot full of twists and turns and an ending that leaves you gasping for air
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 Jonasson
A classic crime story seen through a uniquely Icelandic lens... first rate and highly recommended
A modern take on Agatha Christie--style mystery, as twisty as any slalom . . .
Ragnar Jónasson writes with a chilling, poetic beauty - a must-read addition to the growing canon of Iceland Noir
Distinctive blend of Nordic noir and golden age detective fiction...atmospheric...economical and evocative prose
Seductive ... an old-fashioned murder mystery with a strong central character and the fascinating background of a small Icelandic town cut off by snow. Ragnar does claustrophobia beautifully
The ending hits the reader like a kick in the stomach
Jonasson's books have breathed new life into Nordic noir ...all the skilful plotting of an old-fashioned whodunit although it feels bitingly contemporary in setting and tone
Hulda Hermannsdottir is a welcome addition to the selection of Icelandic crime fiction protagonists . . . It is almost impossible to put the book down until the last word has been read
Out of all of Ragnar's books, this is the one I like the most . . . The book of his which reminds me most of Agatha Christie
The threads lie in various places, the plot is well woven and the pieces in the puzzle come together well in the end. The structure is good, the main characters are believable, the story flows well, everyone is a suspect á la Agatha Christie and the solution unveils the mystery and leads the readers to the truth. But not all the truth, as some things are better left hidden
A very good book, gripping and interesting, with all the threads carefully managed. Hopefully the author will publish as many books as possible with lead character Hulda
