The Mistake;

"Larsson, Mankell and Nesbo... Pretenders to Nicol's crown." -Aidan Thorn (author of Criminal Thoughts)

Everybody Makes Mistakes!

A mutilated body is found on a lonely street in Reykjav­k.
Detective Gr­mur intends to see that justice is done.
Kjartan J³nsson vows that his daughter€s killer will be punished. And that the punishment will fit the crime.
Prime suspect Gunnar Atli desperately needs to prevent his own dark secrets from coming to light. And he€s not the only one.

Fine lines separate truth, justice and vengeance. Put a foot wrong, and any one of them could be making the biggest mistake of his life.

In Iceland, the winter shadows grow long...

"Truth, revenge, cruelty... As the story nears its climax the twisted, horrific psychological elements reminded me of Michael Slade [or] Arne Dahl." -Miriam V. Owen (Nordic Noir Buzz)

"A tense and atmospheric Nordic Noir. Another belter from Number Thirteen Press." -Paul D. Brazill (author of Guns of Brixton and A Case of Noir)

"Make no mistake about it... The Mistake is a great read. An atmospheric trip into Icelandic noir that leaves the reader's fingers blistering as you fly through the pages." -Regular Guy Reading Noir

"The story starts as conventional crime fiction but as the action heads towards a dramatic conclusion it becomes darker, more graphic and increasingly violent... worthy of the description €˜Iceland Noir€. [It] has a dark heart and a bleak ending." -Novel Heights

"Cold and menacing... Nicol takes us on a satisfying series of twists and curves towards a sordid and tragic conclusion." -Raven (Crime Fiction Lover)
