Year of the Cat (2012)

Arni Thorarinsson
2012
300 pages
Crime Fiction

Ominous skies cast their eerie shadows over a community where humanity and evil contend to each other. And unsolved puzzles begin to pile up in the life and work of a journalist named Einar. What is the real motive behind a deadly attack in front of a night club? Or behind a gruesome prank at a wedding which turns into a nightmare? Who is sending Einar obscene text messages? And what type of political wiles is being employed in the struggle for the future of the Evening Press? Not everything is as it seems – and perhaps nothing is. Arni Thorarinsson has an acutely lucid view of today’s society, ironic and revealing at the same time. His books have been translated to numerous languages and widely well-received.

Reviews

“Fierce social criticism and uncomfortable questions in a tightly woven thriller that leaves no-one untouched.”
