Snowblind – 10th Anniversary edition, including NEW Dark Iceland series prequel, Fadeout.
Siglufjörður: an idyllically quiet fishing village in Northern Iceland,
where no one locks their doors – accessible only via a small mountain
tunnel. Ari Thór Arason: a rookie policeman on his first posting, far
from his girlfriend in Reykjavik – with a past
that he's unable to leave behind. When a young woman is found lying
half-naked in the snow, bleeding and unconscious, and a highly esteemed,
elderly writer falls to his death in the local theatre, Ari is dragged
straight into the heart of a community where
he can trust no one, and secrets and lies are a way of life.
An avalanche and unremitting snowstorms close the mountain pass, and the
24-hour darkness threatens to push Ari over the edge, as curtains begin
to twitch, and his investigation becomes increasingly complex, chilling
and personal. Past plays tag with the present
and the claustrophobic tension mounts, while Ari is thrust ever deeper
into his own darkness – blinded by snow, and with a killer on the loose.
Taut and terrifying, Snowblind is a startling debut from an extraordinary new talent, taking Nordic Noir to soaring new heights.
