About the Book

'Welcome back, Gunna! The third in the Gunna series begins with a heart attack and ends with a . . . no, best not give it away. Everything in between is a glorious romp with Gunna at the helm . . . A triumph. Buy it now' - Amazon reviewer, ?????

'I'm hooked on the character of Gunnhildur and reading the entire series as fast as I can . . . be warned, it's addictive' - Amazon reviewer, ?????

---------------

When a wealthy shipping magnate is found dead in one of Reykjavik's smartest hotels, Sergeant Gunnhildur 'Gunna' Gisladottir sees no evidence of foul play, despite the fact his body was tied to the bed . . .

However, as she investigates the victim's untimely demise, she stumbles across a secret bondage society whose members are being systematically exploited and blackmailed.

But how does this connect to a local gangster recently returned to Iceland after many years abroad, and the loss of a government laptop containing sensitive data about various members of the ruling party?

What begins as a straightforward case for Gunnhildur soon explodes into a dangerous investigation, uncovering secrets that ruthless, powerful men are ready to go to violent lengths to keep.

The third dark and atmospheric thriller in Quentin Bates's series of Icelandic crime thrillers. A chilling page-turner perfect for fans of Jo Nesbo, Henning Mankell and Soren Sveistrup's The Chestnut Man.

About the Author :
Quentin Bates made his escape from suburbia at the end of the seventies as a gap year turned into a gap decade spent in the north of Iceland. He worked ashore and at sea before returning to England and, once finally ashore for good, drifted by accident into journalism.

Finally the lure of fiction became too strong to resist. Sergeant Gunnhildur and the series of novels she features in have their origins in a deep affection for Iceland and its people, and an intimate knowledge of Icelandic society and its language, customs and quirks.

Today he divides his time between the north of Iceland and the south of England, translating books from Icelandic in addition to working on his own fiction.

Review :
A beautifully crafted, intricately plotted, atmospheric thriller. Highly recommended A great read - leaves you craving the next installment A meticulously constructed thriller, peopled with exceptionally convincing characters and shot through with black humour. Frozen Out is as chilling as an Icelandic winter Superior crime fiction set in Iceland... this is a well constructed, well written and satisfying police procedural [A] crackling fiction debut ... palpable authenticity [With] an in-depth knowledge of just how Iceland works it's a perfect book to curl up with in front of the fire ... We've had quite a few books set in Iceland recently, but this one will give them a run for their money A flying start to ... a superb new series
