The Mistake

The Mistake

"Larsson, Mankell and Nesbo... Pretenders to Nicol's crown." -Aidan Thorn (author of Criminal Thoughts) <br /> <br />Everybody Makes Mistakes! <br /> <br />A mutilated body is found on a lonely street in Reykjav­k. <br />Detective Gr­mur intends to see that justice is done. <br />Kjartan J³nsson vows that his daughter€s killer will be punished. And that the punishment will fit the crime. <br />Prime suspect Gunnar Atli desperately needs to prevent his own dark secrets from coming to light. And he€s not the only one. <br /> <br />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. <br /> <br />In Iceland, the winter shadows grow long... <br /> <br />"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) <br /> <br />"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) <br /> <br />"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 <br /> <br />"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 <br /> <br />"Cold and menacing... Nicol takes us on a satisfying series of twists and curves towards a sordid and tragic conclusion." -Raven (Crime Fiction Lover) <br /> <br />Number Thirteen Press is building a list of 13 quality crime novellas and short novels to be published consecutively on the 13th of each month, from November 2014 to November 2015. <br /> <br />www.numberthirteenpress.com <br />
