Yrsa Sigurðardóttir (1963) is an internationally acclaimed Icelandic author of detective and thriller literature. In 2005, she published her first detective novel, The Last Ritual (Metaphor, 2007), which immediately earned her the nickname "Queen of Nordic Crime" and marked the beginning of her award-winning series with lawyer Tora Gudmunsdóttir. She has cemented her position as one of the best detective authors of our time with a series of stand-alone thrillers that have been translated into more than 30 languages to date, most notably in 2014 with the novel DNA (Metaphora, 2017), the first volume of a free series featuring child psychologist Freyja and detective Huldar. It was followed up a year later with the second volume, Black Hole (Metafora, 2018), and then with the third volume, Catharsis (Metafora Grada, 2019).
