Gildran

Eftir harkalegan skilnað stendur Sonja uppi allslaus og ráðalaus. Það eina sem hún á er sonurinn Tómas sem hún fær ekki að hitta nema þegar pabba hans hentar. Í örvæntingu leiðist hún út í eiturlyfjasmygl; fyrir ágóðann vonast hún til að geta búið Tómasi gott heimili. Og Sonja er snjall smyglari og kemst upp með ótrúlegustu hluti. Allt þar til hún vekur athygli Braga, tollvarðar sem er að fara á eftirlaun.

Sonja heitir sjálfri sér því að hver smyglferð sé sú seinasta. Hana langar bara að vera með drengnum sínum og rækta brothætt ástarsamband við bankastarfsmanninn Öglu. En til þess þarf hún að sleppa úr gildrunni …

IN ENGLISH:
- TRAPPED -
Sonja, an attractive single mother in her thirties is an imaginative, albeit unwilling cocainesmuggler. Her main adversary, Bragi, an almostretired customs officer, knows all the tricks in the book after decades of experience. Not only must Sonja think of new and increasingly daring ways to outwit her nemesis, she must also find a way to get out of the trap. All this while keeping her secret safe from her ex-husband and
her lover, a former high-level bank executive who is under prosecution after the Icelandic financial crash.
A financial-crime and drug smuggling story, Trapped is also a love story between two women, who have to face their destiny in the aftermath of a nation’s financial and social collapse. An original and sexy Nordic crime novel with a suspenseful plot, lovable characters and a fantastic setting in Iceland’s scenic capital during the winter of 2010-2011, full of ghostly abandoned, half-built buildings and dusty with ash from a volcanic eruption.
