FIRST IN THE INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLING DARK ICELAND SERIES. OVER A MILLION COPIES SOLD A murder takes place in the isolated Icelandic town of Siglufjörður, where an avalanche has cut off all communication and the unrelenting snow threatens rookie police officer Ari Thór Arason's first investigation… ‘A modern Icelandic take on an Agatha Christie-style mystery, as twisty as any slalom…’ Ian Rankin ’Ragnar Jónasson writes with a chilling, poetic beauty’ Peter James ‘Seductive … Ragnar does claustrophobia beautifully’ Ann Cleeves ________________ Siglufjörður: an idyllically quiet fishing village in Northern Iceland, where no one locks their doors – accessible only via a small mountain tunnel. Ari Thór Arason: a rookie policeman on his first posting, far from his girlfriend in Reykjavik – with a past that he’s unable to leave behind. When a young woman is found lying half-naked in the snow, bleeding and unconscious, and a highly esteemed, elderly writer falls to his death in the local theatre, Ari is dragged straight into the heart of a community where he can trust no one, and secrets and lies are a way of life. An avalanche and unremitting snowstorms close the mountain pass, and the 24-hour darkness threatens to push Ari over the edge, as curtains begin to twitch, and his investigation becomes increasingly complex, chilling and personal. Past plays tag with the present and the claustrophobic tension mounts, while Ari is thrust ever deeper into his own darkness – blinded by snow, and with a killer on the loose. Taut and terrifying, Snowblind is a startling debut from an extraordinary new talent, taking Nordic Noir to soaring new heights. ________________ ‘His first novel to be translated into English has all the skilful plotting of an old-fashioned whodunnit although it feels bitingly contemporary in setting and tone’ Sunday Express ‘A chiller of a thriller’ Washington Post 'A classic crime story seen through a uniquely Icelandic lens. First rate and highly recommended' Lee Child ‘Required reading’ New York Post ’Morally more equivocal than most traditional whodunnits, and it offers alluring glimpses of darker, and infinitely more threatening horizons’ Independent ‘A truly chilling debut, perfect for fans of Karin Fossum and Henning Mankell’ Eva Dolan ‘A stunning murder mystery by one of Iceland’s finest writers’ Yrsa Sigurðardóttir ‘There is a young pretender beavering away, his eye on the crown: Ragnar Jónasson…’ Barry Forshaw ‘As dazzling as its title implies’ William Ryan ‘An isolated community, subtle clueing, clever misdirection and more than a few surprises combine to give a modern day Golden Age whodunnit. I look forward to the next in the series’ Dr John Curran ‘The best sort of gloomy storytelling’ Chicago Tribune ‘The prose is stark and minimal … bleakly brilliant’ Metro ‘A chilling, thrilling slice of Icelandic Noir’ Thomas Enger ‘This classically crafted whodunit holds up nicely, but Jónasson’s true gift is for describing the daunting beauty of the fierce setting, lashed by blinding snowstorms that smother the village in “a thick, white darkness” that is strangely comforting’ New York Times

A world-class scientist. A family in peril. The world on the brink. American scientist Dr. Michael Faris is blackmailed into creating doomsday nanotechnology, but then he races across the Middle East, China and Russia in order to avert a global catastrophe ... from the weapon he has helped make. NANO is published on July 4, 2026, to mark the 250th Anniversary of the founding of the USA, and pays tribute to the literary cultural milestone of the Great American Novel of the 19th Century, the cinematic cultural milestone of the Hollywood Movie Blockbuster & Screenplay of the 20th Century and the innovative cultural milestone of the Global Intellectual Property (IP) Franchise of the 21st Century. Dr. Michael Faris is the lead scientist at the Institute of Defensive Nanotechnology (IDN) in the USA. In a glass auditorium north of Los Angeles, Michael shows a room of generals how nanotech could change warfare forever. His wife, Maria, the Caltech physicist who once came first in every quantum mechanics class she took, knows that it already has. She fears for the future of the world, and for their daughter, Thena. One day late at night at IDN, Michael receives a call from an unknown number. "We have your daughter. She is safe ... for now." Thena's been kidnapped, and Michael must now build what he knows he must not - or else. Under investigation by UNICON, a new global intel agency, Michael races throughout the Middle East, China and Russia to find and rescue his daughter ... and save his family, and save the world, from the weapon he has helped to make. What real readers have said about NANO "So I am not pulling back any punches, for I genuinely loved NANO." "What you have here is a classic, a perfect blend of ingredients to make it epic." "It is a head-turner, I'll tell you that, and it's also high-concept." "A phenomenal job of weaving this enthralling narrative." "Emotionally engaging as it is riveting on a plot level and entertaining." "A skilfully crafted thriller with great potential for success." "NANO is exceptional, an intriguing read." About NANO NANO is a global sci-fi techno-thriller with the highly contemporary theme of asymmetry: between nuclear warfare and A.I.-enabled nanotech; between the disruption of technology and the balance of humanity; between the world, its superpower states and the nuclear family; and ultimately between a man, his wife and daughter. NANO has been envisaged as the innovative fusion of global geopolitics and science-fiction; balanced between the contemporary journalism of TIME and WIRED magazines and the best-selling thrillers of Tom Clancy and Michael Crichton; between real science fact, such as the White House's National Nanotechnology Initiative, and global science fiction, as featured in Hollywood blockbuster movies such as Spider-Man, The Avengers and James Bond. As part of the new exciting global franchise series, Technopolis, NANO is internationally released as the cutting-edge fast-paced cinematic novelization of a highly acclaimed screenplay and forthcoming film, which readers can first enjoy as a book, then as audience members at cinema theaters worldwide. NANO is written by Talal Malik, CEO, Founder and Senior Writer-Producer of global media and entertainment firm, Alpha1Media. Educated at Oxford University at the same college as J. R. R. Tolkien, famed author of 'Lord of the Rings', and trained at the same prestigious writing program as Ian Fleming, famed author of 'James Bond', Talal Malik has written NANO specifically for global readers to enjoy as a cinematic page-turner in their hands.
