Nightblind

By Ragnar Jónasson
Nightblind by Ragnar Jónasson digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

Chilling and complex, Nightblind is an extraordinary thriller from Ragnar Jónasson, an undeniable new talent.

Ari Thor Arason is a local policeman who has an uneasy relationship with the villagers in an idyllically quiet fishing village in Northern Iceland—where no one locks their doors.

The peace of this close-knit community is shattered by a murder. One of Ari’s colleagues is gunned down at point-blank range in the dead of night in a deserted house. With a killer on the loose and the dark Arctic waters closing in, it falls to Ari Thor to piece together a puzzle that involves a new mayor and a psychiatric ward in Reykjavik. It becomes all too clear that tragic events from the past are weaving a sinister spell that may threaten them all.

“This was pretty decent. Overall, it's just a procedural police/mystery novel. What sets this apart from most of the others is not just the location, but how the author builds the tension. I've always associated horror with winter and blizzards. It's the similar sense of isolation and feeling of being trapped in a situation you have no control over. This author uses the remoteness of this small town in Iceland, and the weather of it as a mechanism to build tension and set the mood for the story, and he does it very effectively. Now I just have to get the rest of the series. I'm currently 3/6 right now.”
Thinking Face“A nice, solid detective story set in a cold, Icelandic setting.”
