A blizzard is approaching Siglufj r ur, and that can only mean one thing...

When the body of a nineteen-year-old girl is found on the main street of Siglufj r ur, Police Inspector Ari Th r 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 Siglufj r ur, the northernmost town in Iceland, as crowds of tourists arrive to visit the majestic ski slopes.

Ari Th r 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 Siglufj r ur, Ari Th r must piece together the puzzle to reveal a horrible truth ... one that will leave no one unscathed.

**Chilling, claustrophobic and disturbing, _Winterkill_ is a startling addition to the multi-million-copy bestselling Dark Iceland series and cements Ragnar J nasson as one of the most exciting and acclaimed authors in crime fiction.**

### Author Biography

**Ragnar Jónasson** is an Icelandic crime writer who was born in Reykjavík. In the past, he's worked in TV and radio, including as a news reporter for the Icelandic National Broadcasting Service. Ragnar's debut thriller, _Snowblind_, became an almost instant bestseller when it was published in June 2015 with _Nightblind_ (winner of the Dead Good Reads Most Captivating Crime in Translation Award) and then _Blackout_ and _Rupture_ following soon after. To date, Ragnar Jónasson has written five novels in the Dark Iceland series, which has been optioned for TV by On the Corner. **David Warriner** translates from French and nurtures a healthy passion for Franco, Nordic, and British crime fiction. Growing up in deepest Yorkshire, he developed incurable Francophilia at an early age. Emerging from Oxford with a modern languages degree, he narrowly escaped the graduate rat race by hopping on a plane to Canada--and never looked back. More than a decade into a high-powered commercial translation career, he listened to his heart and turned his hand again to the delicate art of literary translation. David has lived in France, Quebec, and now calls beautiful British Columbia home.
