Authors
Skúli Sigurðsson
Skúli Sigurðsson (b. 1985) was awarded the Icelandic Crime Novel Award for his first novel Big Brother, which is also nominated for the 2023 Glass Key Award and is sold to Finland and Sweden.
A lawyer by education, Skuli worked as a journalist alongside his studies. He later studied international law and human rights in Costa Rica and worked for the United Nations in Jordan. Taking inspiration from the likes of Raymond Chandler, Ian Fleming and Alistair MacLean, he hopes to inject some intensity, stakes and panache into the Icelandic branch of Nordic Noir, in his interconnected stories.
