'A tense thriller with a highly unusual plot and interesting characters' **_The Times_**

**Praise for the Reykjavik Noir Trilogy:**  
  
  
  
'_Cage_ is the muted and more credible conclusion to a wayward, but diverting trilogy that began with _Snare_ (2017) and continued with _Trap_ (2018) -- ironic titles for essentially escapist fiction ... Compassion beats complexity every time' **_The Times_**  
  
  
  
'In keeping with a lot of Icelandic fiction, _Cage_ is written in a clean, understated style, the author letting the reader put together the emotional beats and plot developments. Smart writing with a strongly beating heart' **_Big Issue_**  
  
  
  
'Deftly plotted though and with a forensic attention to the technicalities of stock exchange manipulations and drug running techniques' **_Crime Time_**  
  
  
  
'With shocks and surprises in store, and that oh so satisfying end, _Cage_ provoked, chilled, and thrilled me' **LoveReading**  
  
  
  
'A novel about survival, about scheming, it's about self-preservation and about clinging to a vestige of decency in a screwed up world. Superbly translated by Quentin Bates, who knows the language, the country, the people and crime writing intimately. _Cage_ is a pacy thriller; you will find yourself invested in the story' **_New Books Magazine_**  
  
  
  
'An emotional suspense rollercoaster on a par with The Firm, as desperate, resourceful, profoundly lovable characters scheme against impossible odds' **Alexandra Sokoloff**  
  
  
  
'Clear your diary. As soon as you begin reading ... you won't be able to stop until the final page' **Michael Wood**  
  
  
  
'Zips along, with tension building and building ... thoroughly recommend' **James Oswald**  
  
  
  
'The intricate plot is breathtakingly original, with many twists and turns you never see coming. Thriller of the year' **_New York Journal of Books_**
