Order of Fire and Ice Books

The Fire and Ice series is a collection of crime thriller novels penned by English author Michael Ridpath. At the heart of these stories is Magnus Jonson, an Icelandic-American protagonist with a unique background. Born in Iceland but brought up in Boston, Magnus has made his way back to his native Iceland where he works as a homicide detective. Despite being crafted by a British writer, the series embraces the distinctive style of Scandinavian crime fiction.

Ridpath launched the Fire and Ice series in 2010 with Where the Shadows Lie as the inaugural novel. The series continues to develop with new releases. Here you'll find Michael Ridpath's Fire and Ice novels listed in their original publication sequence, which matches their chronological storyline:
