Specifications
The body of a young Russian woman is discovered in a remote corner of Iceland. The police, after a careless investigation, conclude that it is a suicide and quietly closes the case. A year later, sixty-four-year-old Inspector Hulda Hermannsdóttir is forced into early retirement.
However, she has two weeks to decide which old case she will reopen. She doesn’t hesitate to make a choice. She quickly remembers the immigrant who saw her hopes for a new beginning washed up on the shores of this unknown country. Convinced that the woman was murdered, Hulda revisits the forgotten case. However, no one tells her the whole truth. Even her colleagues seem determined to sabotage her efforts.
As time counts down, ghosts from the past come to haunt her and lead her to fatal mistakes. Yet, Hulda, the formidable heroine of Ragnar Jónasson, will attempt to find the killer even at the risk of her own life.
The Darkness is an original, captivating, atmospheric crime thriller set against the frozen, dark, and wild landscapes of the far north.
“The ending of the novel truly took my breath away, and as you may suspect, this doesn’t happen to me often. It was an incredible surprise that I could not have predicted. Hulda is a fantastic, three-dimensional heroine, and I want to read more about her.” Ian Rankin
“The Darkness is an authentic masterpiece of modern crime fiction.” Yrsa Sigurdardóttir
“Ragnar Jónasson, a world-class noir writer.” The Sunday Times
“A combination of psychological depth and tight plotting that transforms into excellent storytelling.” The Washington Post
