Hægt og hljótt til helvítis

Everything has consequences, sooner or later.

A family man dreams of prosperity and a bright future for his loved ones; ambitious bankers gamble with everything except their own interests; and a middle-aged real estate agent goes for a swim in search of a better life, only to find death and the devil.

When homicide detectives Aron Freyr Einarsson and Jóhanna Gunnarsdóttir arrive at the scene of a murder on Bergstaðastræti, it quickly becomes clear that this is no ordinary crime. Something profoundly disturbing and unusually malevolent lies behind the act—committed by a killer who may be prepared to strike again.

This gripping thriller confronts contemporary Icelandic society, where anger, greed, bitterness, and hatred fester like caged beasts, eventually bursting forth from the dark corners of online comment sections.

This is the author’s debut crime novel, written by a seasoned journalist.
