The Officer Gunnhildur series follows an Icelandic police officer through ten crime novels. Starting with Frozen Assets (2010), the series takes Gunnhildur through cases across Iceland, with the country’s weather, geography, and culture playing major roles in each story.
Titles like Cold Comfort, Chilled to the Bone, Cold Steal, and Thin Ice reflect both the Icelandic climate and the tension of the investigations. Quentin Bates’s years living in Iceland give the series an authenticity that distinguishes it within the Nordic noir genre.
