About the Book

Four friends. One night. Not everyone will come out alive . . . The ice-cold new stand-alone mystery from 'world-class crime writer' Ragnar J nasson In a deadly Icelandic snowstorm, four friends break into an abandoned hunting lodge, hoping to wait out the storm until morning. But nothing can prepare them for what's inside... With no other option, they are forced to spend a terrifying night in the cabin- watching as intently and silently as they themselves are being watched. As the night darkens, old secrets spill into the light, and tensions rise between the four friends. Soon it's clear that what they've discovered in the cabin is far from the only mystery lurking there. Nor the only thing to be afraid of...

Review :
Jonasson is a connoisseur of 'unrelenting darkness'; the atmosphere of paranoid claustrophobia [Jonasson] creates is so intense you can't help gripping the book as tightly as possible Entertaining, suspenseful and twisty. Highly recommended for fans of Ragnar Jonasson and suspense thrillers in general Lord of the Flies for grown-ups Chillingly terrifying, brilliantly entertaining, captivating the reader from page one. Impossible to put down The author describes the difficult conditions of the four main characters in such a brilliant way that in an instant the reader finds himself in unfamiliar surroundings which neither the reader nor the characters can control A superb page-turner, Outside breathes fresh and unsettling life into the classic locked room mystery Raw with cold and rich in atmosphere, Outside is an Arctic Inspector Calls for a new generation His best yet . . . Having read all of Jonasson's previous offerings. Outside confirms that here is an author at the top of his game, with complete command of his audience A stunningly original take on the looked-room mystery, where fear of a treacherous snowstorm outside an isolated hut is matched by mistrust among the terrified occupants. Tense. Very tense Four friends find safety from a snowstorm in a remote Icelandic hut - or so they think. Jónasson's twisting, elegantly crafted story will keep you hooked till the very last page Ragnar Jónasson is so skilled in depicting the environment where the story takes place, it becomes one of the characters. It is so atmospheric, I am immediately transported to the Icelandic moors, feeling the cold all the way to the bones. I read with bated breath, my heart pounding with the looming knowledge that soon something bad is about to happen Yet another humdinger from Iceland's finest crime writer Jonasson offers an intense standalone, taking to new heights his unrivalled skill for using winter as an unpredictable plot-twister . . . There is so much to like here: the complexity of the quartet's relationships, Jonasson's powerful, streamlined writing, and the parallels between an unforgiving setting and the characters' seething grudges. Readers will be drawn into Jonasson's forbidding Iceland landscape, where it's anyone's guess who will make it out alive Entertaining, suspenseful and twisty. Overall, highly recommended for fans of Ragnar Jonasson and suspense thrillers in general Chilling thriller by the king of Icelandic noir . . . so gripping I can't put it down Jonasson and translator Victoria Cribb do a fine job of setting the scene, developing the characters, and keeping readers in suspense with a tight, clean, noir prose style A shivery delight Jónasson's spare prose and brisk pacing make for an immersive read . . . Outside is an intriguing study of isolation, claustrophobia and the particular menace to be found in beautiful yet unforgiving terrain Jonasson is a master at two aspects of Icelandic noir: one is the description of his country's withering weather; the other is the handling of murderous plots that are tangled beyond all expectations. He's in top form in both specialties this time out Jonasson is a master at exploring the impact of claustrophobia brought on by darkness and enclosed spaces. He an avid fan of Agatha Christie, and Outside is an adaptation, with an Icelandic twist, of the classic locked-door mystery It takes a truly talented writer to work with a thin outline like that and turn it into a classic, and that is exactly what Jónasson has done here. I believe he has penned the Icelandic version of Quentin Tarantino's Reservoir Dogs From the winner of THE BEST CRIME NOVEL IN THE LAST 50 YEARS Praise for Ragnar Jónasson Jónasson is an automatic must-read for me . . . possibly the best Scandi writer working today

Triumphant . . . Chilling, creepy, perceptive, almost unbearably tense

Dark, chilling and utterly gripping Such a tense, gripping read A world-class crime writer. One of the most astonishing plots of modern crime fiction. A master of the Icelandic thriller. Is this the best crime writer in the world today? . . . He's truly a master of his genre Invigorating Iceland-set slice of Nordic Noir Fiendishy clever Triumphant conclusion to the trilogy. Only Ragnar Jónasson has rendered hindsight so heartbreaking It is nothing less than a landmark in modern crime fiction The red hot crime writer from the frozen north . . . One of the most important voices on the international crime scene Ragnar Jonasson has a gift for crafting clever whodunnits while conveying the intimidating beauty of his native Iceland Jónasson has the full measure of the Nordic noir genre, and pushes all the buttons Expertly Plotted
