Overview

The masterful, explosive conclusion to the award-winning Reykjavík Noir trilogy

 

The prison doors slam shut behind Agla, when her sentence ends, but her lover Sonja is not there to meet her. As a group of foreign businessmen tries to draw Agla into an ingenious fraud that stretches from Iceland around the world, Agla and her former nemesis, María find the stakes being raised at a terrifying speed. Ruthless drug baron Ingimar will stop at nothing to protect his empire, but he has no idea about the powder keg he is sitting on in his own home. At the same time, a deadly threat to Sonya and her family brings her from London back to Iceland, where she needs to settle scores with longstanding adversaries if she wants to stay alive…

Reviews

"Sigurðardóttir’s unflinching portrayal of Iceland’s burgeoning underworld and the streamlined, raw intensity of her prose distinguishes her from fellow Icelanders who have become popular in the American crime-fiction world. . . . This is prime binge-reading." —Booklist starred review of Trap


Further showcases Sigurðardóttir’s facility with intricate plotting and sympathetic characters. . . . A worthy addition to the icy-cold crime genre popularized by Scandinavian noir novels." —Foreword Reviews on Trap


"[A] lively conclusion...Fans already invested in this Nordic crime series will race through the pages."— Publishers Weekly


"Now this one is pure Scandinavian noir...No other crime series promises to be both a thrilling epic and a careful dissection of Iceland’s 2008 banking crisis." —CrimeReads
