€ 12.50
ISBN: 9781916788176
When a celebrated government official is found dead after his surprise birthday party, a young police officer uncovers a terrifying world of financial crime, sinister cults and disturbing secret lives. Icelandic politician Katrin Juliusdottir's award-winning debut - first in a breathtaking series...
**Winner of the Blackbird Award for Best Icelandic Crime Debut**
'A sophisticated, multi-layered thriller ... a series with great potential' Financial Times
A murder is just the beginning...
When Ottar Karlsson, a wealthy and respected government official and businessman, is found murdered, after failing to turn up at his own surprise birthday party, the police are at a loss. It isn't until young police officer Sigurdis finds a well-hidden safe in his impersonal luxury apartment that clues start emerging.
As Ottar's shady business dealings become clear, a second, unexpected line of enquiry emerges, when Sigurdis finds a US phone number in the safe, along with papers showing regular money transfers to an American account.
Following the trail to Minnesota, trauma rooted in Sigurdis's own childhood threatens to resurface and the investigation strikes chillingly close to home...
Atmospheric, deeply unsettling and full of breakneck twists and turns, Dead Sweet is a startling debut thriller that uncovers a terrifying world of financial crime, sinister cults and disturbing secret lives, and kicks off an addictive, mind-blowing new series.
