Crime Highlights

As the number of deaths continues to rise, they realize that a dangerous batch of a designer drug is circulating in the city. The novel takes place against the backdrop of Iceland’s ongoing opioid epidemic, which has already claimed the lives of over 60 individuals this year (2023), a statistic that places the country at the forefront of opioid and antidepressant drug usage in the Nordic region.

Reviews

"... an excellent crime novel. It is compact and well-written, and the plot is superbly crafted... Jon Atli's greatest strength lies in the characters he has created. Dora and Rado are both interesting and exceptionally appealing... This captivating story is exciting from beginning to end, and for various reasons that cannot be disclosed, one can hardly wait for the next book."
