A huge bestseller in England, France, and Australia, the second book from a spectacular new crime writer.

"Story's got me gripped, but even more satisfying is how the characters are never just there as pawns in the plot." --Ian Rankin

"Nightblind certainly lives up to the promise of its predecessor."--The Guardian (UK)

Ari Thór Arason: a local policeman, whose tumultuous past and uneasy relationships with the villagers in an idyllically quiet fishing village in Northern Iceland--where no one locks their doors--continue to haunt him.

The peace of this close-knit community is shattered by the murder of a policeman--shot at point-blank range in the dead of night in a deserted house. Then a mysterious young woman moves to the area, and it becomes all too clear that tragic events from the past are weaving a sinister spell that may threaten them all. Chilling, and complex, Nightblind is an extraordinary thriller from an undeniable new talent.
