When Sonja's son is kidnapped by her ruthless ex-husband, she is thrust back into the world of cocaine smuggling, but this time she has a plan of her own. High-stakes jeopardy presides in book two of the dark and original, nail-bitingly fast-paced Reykjavik Noir trilogy.

"Tense, edgy, and delivering more than a few unexpected twists and turns," Sunday Times.

"Tough, uncompromising, and unsettling," Val McDermid.

"Tense and pacey, this intriguing mix of white-collar and white-powder crime could certainly be enjoyed as a standalone, but I would suggest reading its excellent predecessor, Snare, first," Guardian.

Happily settled in Florida, Sonja believes she has finally escaped the trap set by unscrupulous drug lords. But when her son Tomas is taken, she is back to square one... and Iceland.

Her lover, Agla, is awaiting sentencing for financial misconduct after the banking crash, and Sonja refuses to see her. And that's not all... Agla owes money to some extremely powerful men, and they will stop at nothing to get it back.

With her former nemesis, customs officer Bragi, on her side, Sonja puts her own plan into motion to bring down the drug barons and her scheming ex-husband and get Tomas back safely. But things are not as straightforward as they seem, and Sonja finds herself caught in the center of a trap that will put all of their lives at risk.

Set in Reykjavik, still covered in the dust of the Eyjafjallajökull volcanic eruption and the aftermath of the banking crisis, Trap is an award-winning, deliciously dark, and outstandingly original slice of Nordic Noir, from one of Iceland's finest crime writers.

"A tense thriller with a highly unusual plot and interesting characters," Kirkus Reviews.

"A dark and atmospheric thriller," Publishers Weekly.
