With over four million copies sold worldwide, Ragnar Jónasson, along with Katrin Jakobsdottir, the Prime Minister of Iceland, brings us a gripping and chilling new thriller.

• Ragnar has been hailed as the "Crown Prince" of Icelandic Noir, often garnering comparisons to Arnaldur Indridason, Yrsa Sigurdardottir, and even Agatha Christie herself. Ragnar was the official translator of Agatha Christie into Icelandic, having translated 14 of her novels to date, with this serving as an inspiration and support for his own writing style. He also co-founded Iceland's first and only crime-writing festival, Iceland Noir. He has been a #1 bestseller on the lists in Germany and France, and a #1 ebook bestseller in the UK and Australia.
• Katrín Jakobsdóttir, the Prime Minister of Iceland, is the co-author of the book. The pair did excellent publicity to promote the hardcover, including an event at the Library of Congress.
• CBS Studios announced that their first project with the recently launched Stampede Ventures International will be an eight-episode series adaptation of Ragnar Jónasson's bestselling book The Darkness, from his Hulda series of crime novels.
• Ragnar's books repeatedly garner awards, ecstatic praise, and "best of" list attention. Most recently, Reykjavik was an Editor's Choice/Staff Pick from The New York Times Book Review, as well as garnering multiple starred trade reviews. He has been shortlisted for The Barry Award and The Petrona Award, and The Island was shortlisted for the Crime Novel of the Year Award in Iceland, received third place for the Novel of the Year Award 2016 in Iceland, and was selected by booksellers as one of the bestselling novels in Iceland in 2016.
