A spinechiller in the Land of Fire and Ice

- 

ELIZA Reid's debut novel, Death of a Diplomat, is a sharp, stylish locked-room mystery set against the wild beauty of Iceland's Westman Islands.

With a Golden Age setup and a Nordic noir atmosphere, it's a compelling read for fans of both genres - think Agatha Christie meets Scandi crime, with a political edge.

The story opens with a high-stakes diplomatic dinner party. A mix of diplomats, dignitaries, journalists and businesspeople have gathered in the Land of Fire and Ice to welcome a Canadian delegation.
