Praise for WHERE THE SHADOWS LIE:
'Well done, Michael Ridpath ... This is a clever blend of murder mystery, myth and up-to-the-minute mayhem ... Whether you're a fan of orcs, Gimli and Legolas or Elmore Leonard and The Sopranos, there's something in this quixotic, atmospheric alternative thriller for you.' -- The Times

' ... one of the best Icelandic thrillers I have ever read ... a superbly entertaining thriller which looks like being the first in a very successful series under the banner "Fire and Ice"... Michael Ridpath, no stranger to big sales figures, has another hit on his hands.' -- Shots Magazine
