Description

On a cold winter evening in a secluded fjord in Iceland, a neighbour visits the house of a family that has not been seen in a week. No one comes to the door when he knocks. After breaking down the back door, his worst fears are realised. Their home is now an horrific crime scene.
Policeman Tyr and forensic pathologist Idunn are called to the house to investigate. As the case advances, harrowing secrets about the family are revealed. Along with a young policeman Karo, the investigative team quickly realise that the case forces them to face their own suppressed past and opens a Pandora’s box to much darker crimes.
Can’t Run, Can’t Hide is a masterclass in tension from one of the world’s finest crime writers.

Publisher Review

Praise for Yrsa Sigurdardottir – The undisputed Queen of Icelandic Noir * Simon Kernick, author of THE BONE FIELD * Nail-biting . . . Iceland’s long dark nights are at their most minatory in Sigurdardottir’s atmospheric thrillers * Financial Times * One of the best books I’ve read for a long time: dark, creepy and gripping from beginning to end * Stuart MacBride, author of THE DEAD OF WINTER * Sigurdardottir is as confident a writer as ever * Sunday Times *
