----
 
On a snowy winter morning, an abandoned shipping container is discovered near Reykjavìk. Inside are the bodies of five young women - one of them barely alive.
 
As Icelandic Police detective Danìel struggles to investigate the most brutal crime of his career, Áróra looks into the background of a suspicious man, who turns out to be engaged to Danìel's former wife, and the connections don't stop there…
 
Danìel and Áróra's cases pit them both against ruthless criminals with horrifying agendas, while Áróra persists with her search for her missing sister, Ísafold, whose devastating disappearance continues to haunt her.
 
As the temperature drops and the 24-hour darkness and freezing snow hamper their efforts, their investigations become increasingly dangerous … for everyone.
 
Atmospheric, twisty and breathtakingly tense, White as Snow is the third instalment in the riveting, award-winning An Áróra Investigation series, as crimes committed far beyond Iceland's shores come home…
 
Shortlisted for The Blood Drop - Icelandic Crime Novel of the Year, 2022
