Ari Thor returns to investigate a chilling series of crimes that are rooted in tragic events from the past.

Siglufjörður: an idyllically quiet fishing village on the northernmost tip of Iceland, accessible only via a small mountain tunnel.

Ari Thór Arason: a local policeman whose tumultuous past and uneasy relationships with the villagers continue to haunt him. The peace of this close-knit community is shattered by the murder of a policeman - shot at point-blank range in the dead of night in a deserted house.

With a killer on the loose and the dark arctic winter closing in, it falls to Ari Thór to piece together a puzzle that involves tangled local politics, a compromised new mayor, and a psychiatric ward in Reykjavik, where someone is being held against their will.

Then a mysterious young woman moves to the area, on the run from something she dare not reveal, and it becomes all too clear that tragic events from the past are weaving a sinister spell that may threaten them all.

Dark, chilling and complex, Nightblind is an extraordinary thriller from an undeniable new talent.

I'm writing this review mostly for myself--to remind myself not to read any more from this series. The author does a lot of things right--great setting and interesting plots. And he is capable of creating empathetic characters (like Thomas, the former head of police in the town) but the rest of the characters are self-centred, greedy and pathetic. That includes the main character, Ari Thor (who immediately speculated on how he could now get the top job as he finds his boss's corpse). And Ari's wife who's sneaking around on him and the Mayor of the town who's also sneaking around with his PA. Let's just say, I wouldn't want any of them for friends or neighbours.
