Chilling and complex, Nightblind is an extraordinary thriller from Ragnar Jonasson, an undeniable new talent.
Ari Thor Arason is a local policeman who has an uneasy relationship with the villagers in an idyllically quiet fishing village in Northern Iceland--where no one locks their doors.
The peace of this close-knit community is shattered by a murder.
One of Ari's colleagues is gunned down at point-blank range in the dead of night in a deserted house.
With a killer on the loose and the dark Arctic waters closing in, it falls to Ari Thor to piece together a puzzle that involves a new mayor and a psychiatric ward in Reykjavik.
It becomes all too clear that tragic events from the past are weaving a sinister spell that may threaten them all.
