A Danish literary author is challenged to write a crime novel in thirty days, traveling to a small village in Iceland for inspiration, and then a body appears ... An atmospheric, darkly funny, twisty debut thriller, first in an addictive new series. Copenhagen author Hannah is the darling of the literary community and her novels have achieved massive critical acclaim. But nobody actually reads them, and frustrated by writer's block, Hannah has the feeling that she's doing something wrong. When she expresses her contempt for genre fiction, Hanna is publicly challenged to write a crime novel in thirty days. Scared that she will lose face, she accepts, and her editor sends her to Hsafjur - a quiet, tight-knit village in Iceland, filled with colorful local characters - for inspiration. But two days after her arrival, the body of a fisherman's young son is pulled from the water ... and what begins as a search for plot material quickly turns into a messy and dangerous investigation that threatens to uncover secrets that put everything at risk . . . including Hannah. Atmospheric, dramatic and full of nerve-jangling twists and turns, Thirty Days of Darkness is a darkly funny, unsettling debut thriller that marks the start of a breathtaking new series.
