"IS THIS THE BEST CRIME WRITER IN THE WORLD TODAY?" (THE TIMES)

THREE BOOKS ON GERMANY TOP TEN

The Darkness, The Island and The Mist (Dunkel, Insel, Nebel) are all on the top ten official German paperback bestseller list (Spiegel Bestseller list). This is the first time ever that an Icelandic author has three books in the top ten. The Darkness has been on the top ten 17 weeks in a row, and The Island 10 weeks in a row. The books were published two months apart in Germany, from May to September.
