Áróra returns to Iceland when her estranged sister goes missing, and her search leads to places she could never have imagined. A chilling, tense standalone thriller, from one of Iceland's bestselling authors... Icelandic sisters Áróra and Ísafold live in different countries and aren't on speaking terms, but when their mother loses contact with Ísafold, Áróra reluctantly returns to Iceland to find her sister. But, she soon realizes that her sister isn't avoiding her... she has disappeared, without trace. As she confonts Ísafold's abusive, drug-dealing boyfriend Björn, and begins to probe her sister's reclusive neighbors, who have their own reasons for staying out of sight, leads Áróra into an ever darker web of intrigue and manipulation. Baffled by the conflicting details of her sister's life, and blinded by the shiveringly bright midnight sun of the Icelandic summer, Áróra enlists the help of police officer Daníel, as she tries to track her sister's movements, and begins to tail Björn, but she isn't the only one watching... Slick, tense, atmospheric and superbly plotted, Cold as Hell marks the start of a riveting, addictive new series from one of Iceland's bestselling crime writers.
