Critics Review
Reads like a great thriller. Incredibly interesting, even for someone from Iceland, where this mystery has been a part of the nation for decades - Ragnar Jonasson, bestselling author of the Dark Iceland crime series

As well as being a fascinating exploration of an appalling miscarriage of justice, it also offered an intriguing glimpse into Icelandic history and modern society. I haven’t enjoyed visiting Iceland this much since I watched Trapped!Fascinating … bristles with a sense of underlying menace and darkness. - Caroline LeaAbout The Author
Anthony Adeane
Anthony Adeane is a journalist based in London.
He pitched the idea for a documentary about the Gudmundur and Geirfinnur disappearances to an independent production company in Autumn 2014 and then worked with them over the next three years, travelling back and forth to Iceland to conduct interviews with those involved, and to learn more about this fascinating country.
He has since built up a vast network of contacts, including the main suspects, the police who first investigated the disappearances, and the journalists who made their names with this story.
When he is not writing about bizarre Icelandic disappearances, he can be found working at the BBC as a current affairs producer.
