Dark Night
Final chill: The mystery of an ancient disappearance comes to light
Nine years ago, parents expecting their second child made a common decision - they allowed their daughter to sleep outside in the garden house. They had no idea, however, of the terrifying consequences. The little girl was never seen again. Then, years later, when the girl's clothes are discovered during a police raid, the chilling case of her disappearance is thrust back into the spotlight. Tyr, Karó and Idunn must dig deep to uncover the truth about what happened that fateful night. Meanwhile, the newly divorced Gréta moves into a new apartment with her children. She has no idea that their new home hides a chilling history. After she learns about the owners and their family tragedy, she becomes dangerously interested in the case of a little girl's long-ago disappearance. But it seems that some people don't like her curiosity at all...
The gripping final installment of the Black Ice series is here, and it brings, in addition to another thrilling story, long-awaited answers to the questions surrounding the murder of Tyr's mother, a mystery that has haunted Tyr his entire life since childhood.

They wrote about the book:
The humor is almost more pronounced than the horror in this book, which suits me better. The plot makes sense and the characters are easy to empathise with.

Yrsu can undoubtedly be called the Queen of Icelandic noir.
