Murder, mystery and a disappearing crime writer all come together in the new Golden Age crime novel from Sunday Times bestseller Ragnar Jónasson.

One winter evening, bestselling crime author Elin S. Jónsdóttir goes missing.

There are no clues to her disappearance and it is up to young detective, Helgi, to crack the case before it's leaked to the press.

As he interviews the people closest to her—a publisher, an accountant, a retired judge—he realises that Elin's life wasn't what it seemed. In fact, her past is even stranger than her stories.

As the case of the missing crime writer becomes more mysterious by the hour, Helgi must uncover the secrets of a very unexpected life.

The Mysterious Case of the Missing Crime Writer will keep you on the edge of your seat as you navigate through the intrigue and suspense of this captivating tale.
