On a snowy winter morning, an abandoned shipping container is discovered near Reykjaví k. Inside are the bodies of five young women ? one of them barely alive.

As Icelandic Police detective Daní el struggles to investigate the most brutal crime of his career, Á ró ra looks into the background of a suspicious man, who turns out to be engaged to Daní el's former wife, and the connections don? t stop there?

Daní el and Á ró ra? s cases pit them both against ruthless criminals with horrifying agendas, while Á ró ra persists with her search for her missing sister, í safold, whose devastating disappearance continues to haunt her.

As the temperature drops and the 24-hour darkness and freezing snow hamper their efforts, their investigations become increasingly dangerous ? for everyone.

Atmospheric, twisty and breathtakingly tense, White as Snow is the third instalment in the riveting, award-winning An Á ró ra Investigation series, as crimes committed far beyond Iceland? s shores come home?
