‘A terrific tale with twist after twist … Lilja Sigurdardottir is fast becoming my favourite Icelandic crime writer’ The Times Book of the Month

When Arora receives a call telling her that a child she’s never met is claiming to be her missing sister reincarnated, she is devastated … as ridiculous as the allegations might seem. For three years she has been searching for her sister without finding a single clue, and now this strange child seems to have new information.

On the same day, Icelandic Detective Daniel returns home to find a note from his tenant, drag queen Lady Gugulu, giving notice on her flat and explaining that she has to leave the country. Daniel is immediately suspicious, and when three threatening men appear, looking for the Lady, it’s clear to him that something is very wrong…

Twisty, intricately plotted and atmospheric, Dark as Night is the highly anticipated fourth book in the addictive An Arora Investigation series, as Arora and her team face unimaginable danger and extraordinary experiences that may change everything, forever…
