Dark as Night (2022)
An Arora Investigation #4
Nominated for the Icelandic Crime Fiction Prize 2022
An intricately plotted and fresh thriller that takes in uncharted territory and terrifying prospects. Arora, Daniel and the rest of the cast are already familiar to readers from Cold as Hell, Red as Blood and White as Snow. When Arora receives a call telling her that a child she knows nothing of claims to be her sister reincarnated, even though the idea is ridiculous, she reacts badly. For three years she has been searching for her sister without finding any clues, and now this small child seems to have new information. The very same day, detective Daniel comes home to find a good-bye note from his tenant, drag queen Lady Gugulu, giving notice on her flat and saying that she has to leave the country. This sounds suspicious and when three threatening men appear, looking for the Lady, it’s clear to him that something is very wrong.Dark as Night (2022)
