Join “Dr. Noir” in conversation with two bestselling Icelandic writers whose work is not widely available in English—yet! 🇮🇸
🇮🇸 Sólveig Pálsdóttir’s first novel Leikarinn (The Actor) earned rave reviews and is developed as a motion picture. She recently released her fifth best seller, Refurinn (The Fox).
All her novels have been shortlisted for the Icelandic crime fiction award.
🇮🇸 Óskar Guðmundsson trained as an optician. His very first novel, HILMA, won Iceland’s crime fiction award, Blóðdropann (Blood Drop), in 2016.
Judges praised its strong female characterisation and mind-of-the-murderer insights.
