When Á ró ra receives a call telling her that a child she' s never met is claiming to be her missing sister reincarnated, she is devastated … as ridiculous as the allegations might seem. For three years she has been searching for her sister without finding a single clue, and now this strange child seems to have new information.

On the same day, Icelandic detective Daní el returns home to find a note from his tenant, drag queen Lady Gú gú lú , giving notice on her flat and explaining that she has to leave the country. Daní el is immediately suspicious, and when three threatening men appear, looking for Lady, it' s clear to him that something is very wrong…

And as Iceland' s long dark nights continue into springtime, that is just the very beginning…

Twisty, intricately plotted and atmospheric, Dark as Night is the highly anticipated fourth book in the addictive An Á ró ra Investigation series, as Á ró ra and her friends face unimaginable danger and extraordinary experiences that may change everything, forever…
