Winterkill (Dark Iceland 6)
Ragnar Jónasson

When the body of a nineteen-year-old girl is found on the main street of Siglufjörður, Police Inspector Ari Thór battles a violent Icelandic storm in an increasingly dangerous hunt for her killer … The chilling, claustrophobic finale to the international bestselling Dark Iceland series.

Easter weekend is approaching, and snow is gently falling in Siglufjörður, the northernmost town in Iceland, as crowds of tourists arrive to visit the majestic ski slopes.

Ari Thór Arason is now a police inspector, but he’s separated from his girlfriend, who lives in Sweden with their three-year-old son. A family reunion is planned for the holiday, but a violent blizzard is threatening and there is an unsettling chill in the air.

Three days before Easter, a nineteen-year-old local girl falls to her death from the balcony of a house on the main street. A perplexing entry in her diary suggests that this may not be an accident, and when an old man in a local nursing home writes ‘She was murdered’ again and again on the wall of his room, there is every suggestion that something more sinister lies at the heart of her death… 

As the extreme weather closes in, cutting the power and access to Siglufjörður, Ari Thór must piece together the puzzle to reveal a horrible truth … one that will leave no one unscathed.

Chilling, claustrophobic and disturbing, Winterkill marks the startling conclusion to the million-copy bestselling Dark Iceland series and cements Ragnar Jónasson as one of the most exciting authors in crime fiction.

Praise

"The result is a sinister “twisted tragedy”. If one sentence epitomises the series it’s this: “Alone in the darkness, trapped in a maelstrom of memories."
The Times

"Jónasson’s outstanding final Dark Iceland mystery ... Series fans will be sorry to see the last of Ari Thór."
Publishers Weekly (starred review)

"A perfect winter read. Loved this book."
Will Dean


"Jonasson is an automatic must-read for me - he's possibly the best Scandi writer working today."
Lee Child

“Ragnar’s best crime novel to date. Not only a crime novel, but also a family story, a story of love, expectations and desires, families, friends and relationships in the small village. Winterkill is a well crafted crime novel, the structure organised, to the point and exciting, main characters are believable and the twist in the tale is Ragnar’s skill in leading readers astray. In a good crime story, things aren’t always as they seem, and a good author constantly surprises.”
Leading Icelandic newspaper
