Cold Malice

A dark and chilling Icelandic noir thriller

'A tsunami of a thriller' - Amazon reviewer, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

'Another great read from Quentin Bates. For the second time in the series I found myself rooting for the 'bad guy'!' - Amazon reviewer, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

---------------

Reykjavík detective Gunnhildur 'Gunna' Gísladóttir does not believe in ghosts. But when her team member Helgi swears he's seen a man who was declared dead fifteen years ago, she reluctantly gives him some unofficial leeway to look into it.

Has the not-so-dead man returned from the grave to settle old scores, or has he just decided to take a last look around his old haunts?

Either way, there are people who have nursed grudges for years, hoping for a reckoning one day. Even the rumour of his being alive and kicking is enough to spark a storm of fury and revenge, with Gunna and Helgi caught in the middle . . .

The seventh dark and atmospheric thriller in Quentin Bates's Icelandic crime series. A tense page-turner perfect for fans of Jo Nesbo, Henning Mankell and Søren Sveistrup's The Chestnut Man.

engrossing

this police drama set in Iceland bristles with interesting characters that kept me spellbound, while wrestling to keep track of their beautiful and to me utterly unfamiliar names. i loved the inclusion of daily weather reports

Gunnhildur Gísladóttir is my hero

Detective Gunnhildur Gísladóttir is a perfect character. She inhabits the best of the genre. She reflexs the best of female farmers/ranchers, fisherwomen and construction workers. get the job done.
