The Day is Dark

Yrsa Sigurdardóttir is widely regarded around the world as one of the
best Nordic crime writers working today. Yrsa's previous book in the
series, Ashes to Dust, also featured lawyer and sometime sleuth Thóra Gudmundsdóttir and received rave reviews internationally.
In The Day is Dark, when
all contact is lost with two Icelanders working in a harsh and sparsely
populated area on the coast of Greenland, Thóra is hired to uncover the
fates of the missing people. When she arrives in Greenland, she
discovers that these aren't the first two to go missing. The local
townspeople believe that the area is cursed, and no one wants to get
involved in the case. Soon, Thora finds herself stranded in the middle
of a wilderness, and the case is as frightening and hostile as the
landscape itself.
Chilling, unsettling, and compulsively readable, The Day is Dark is a must read for readers who are looking for the next big thing in crime fiction coming in from the cold.
