About the Book

'Gives other Icelandic crime books a serious run for their money' - Amazon reviewer, ?????

'If you love whodunnits then you'll love Gunnhildur - tough but pragmatic with a caring streak, she's quickly become my favourite investigator' - Amazon reviewer, ?????

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

Sergeant Gunnhildur Gisladottir is back, with two very different, and seemingly unconnected cases . . . but are they really poles apart?

Following her promotion and working now from Reykjavik, Icelandic detective Sergeant Gunnhildur Gisladottir is given responsibility for two cases: Tracking down an escaped convict who's keen to settle old scores; and the murder of a TV fitness presenter in her city centre apartment.

With the police short-staffed and underfunded following the financial crash, Gunnhildur and her team set about delving into the backgrounds of both, where they uncover some unwelcome secrets and some influential friends with every reason to keep out of the public eye.

Working in an Iceland that is coming to terms with the deepening recession, Gunnhildur has to take stock of the whirlwind changes that have taken place as she investigates criminals at opposite ends of the social spectrum, but with surprising connections . . .

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

Praise for Cold Comfort:

'A bloody good read, especially if you have a thing for the northern most capital city in the world, and fancy a bit of dark humour with your crime investigations' - Amazon reviewer, ?????

'A jolly good read!'- Amazon reviewer, ?????

'Quentin Bates has created a wonderful detective who is competent and respected for her skill, tough when she has to be, angry and outspoken when necessary, compassionate and empathetic when appropriate, and tired and grumpy when frustrated. In other words, a character the reader can believe in' - Amazon reviewer, ?????

'I love this series!'- Amazon reviewer, ?????

'Kept me guessing to the end'- Amazon reviewer, ?????

'Plenty of twists and turns'- Amazon reviewer, ?????

'A great read. Quentin Bates combines and obvious affection for Iceland and its society with the ability to write a gripping and multi-layered detective story'- Amazon reviewer, ?????

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 :
'Superior crime fiction set in Iceland... this is a well constructed, well written and satisfying police procedural' - The Times
