Viktor Arnar Ingolfsson was born in 1955 in Akureyri, Iceland. He studied civil engineering and has worked for the Icelandic Road Administration since 1983, writing mystery novels alongside his career as an engineer. His books have been translated into twelve languages, and two of them received nominations for the Glass Key prize, the top crime fiction award in Scandinavia.

Ingolfsson’s mysteries are set in Iceland and move at a deliberate pace, focusing on procedural detective work and the social fabric of small Icelandic communities. The Flatey Enigma (2002) is set on a tiny island off the coast of Iceland in the 1960s, while Daybreak (2005) served as the basis for the Icelandic TV series Hunting Men. He has described his approach as writing slow-paced, intelligent mysteries, and his work reflects a deep familiarity with Icelandic geography and culture.
