Reykjavik

With over three million copies sold worldwide, Ragnar Jónasson, along with Katrin Jakobsdóttir, the Prime Minister of Iceland, brings us a gripping and chilling new thriller, Reykjavik.

In 1956, fourteen year old Lara decides to spend the summer working for a couple on the small island of Videy, just off the coast of Reykjavik. In early August, the girl disappears without a trace. Time passes, and the mystery becomes Iceland's most infamous unsolved case. What happened to the young girl? Is she still alive? Did she leave the island, or did something happen to her there?

Nearly thirty years later, the town of Reykjavik remains haunted by the mystery. On the anniversary of her disappearance, tabloid reporter Valur Robertsson decides to write a series of articles about Lara, hoping to uncover new evidence. The nation is told that Valur may be close to solving the case, and all eyes are on the young journalist.

Set against the backdrop of Reykjavik's evolving technological and political landscape, Valur and his sister Sunna dig deeper into Lara's disappearance. Brimming with unexpected betrayals and twists, Jonasson and Jakobsdóttir write a thrilling tale of two people battling against time to restore peace to a changing city, before violence strikes again.
