Wintersturm

The new thriller by Icelandic superstar and SPIEGEL No. 1 bestselling author Ragnar Jónasson – now available in German for the first time.

A relentless snowstorm, a mysterious death, and a truth that casts a dark shadow over the northernmost town in Iceland. Ari Arason, a police inspector in the quiet town of Siglufjörður, is looking forward to spending time with his three-year-old son, who mostly lives with Ari's ex-girlfriend in Sweden. Despite an impending storm, they plan to spend the Easter holidays together as a family of three. However, a puzzling death unexpectedly demands Ari's attention: a nineteen-year-old girl has fallen from a roof, and the last entry in her diary suggests it was not an accident. Ari finds himself torn between his professional duty and the desire to be with his son. He underestimates the increasingly dangerous snowdrifts. The icy winter storm cuts Siglufjörður off from the outside world. Solving the case becomes a matter of life and death for Ari.
