Two broken cops. One irretrievably damaged and the other an outcast. Dora struggles to cope with life after taking a bullet to the head. Rado is the child of refugees, his career shunted off the tracks due to his family connections to an organised crime gang. But they're the only ones available when a troubled teenager vanishes from a school trip, and the trail gets darker the further they pursue it. Broken takes place in a side of Reykjavik no visitor would ever want to see, as the mismatched pair tread on all the wrong toes in the search for the missing youngster. This takes place against the backdrop of a vicious vendetta and price on Dora's head. A brutal turf war embroils Rado's family as he and Dora follow the threads of corruption higher and higher, to the top of the exclusive apartment block on the outskirts of the city. The first novel by award-winning screenwriter Jon Atli Jonasson to appear in English, Broken is the first of a razor-edged crime trilogy shot through with black humour and characters who leap off the page.
