Arctic Noir crime novels are set the Nordic Polar regions, and often ghosts from the past lurk beneath the surface, to be uncovered in several layers.

Along with the murder investigations my stories convey the special atmosphere, grandeur and intimacy that characterises the Arctic and its communities.

 

My new novel Skyggebjørn, published by Alpha.

 

 

 

 

‘Nina von Staffeldt knows her characters and their daily lives intimately’

 

’... it is an exquisite delight to see the intrusion put in a beautiful way and the people make the – wise or disastrous – choices you had expected" 

 

"I'm fond of the subdued narrative style, which allows the reader to get an exciting insight into Greenland's nature and population along with the plot.'

 

‘Solid, classic crime-novel craftmanship... you may well want to read the book all over again.'  

 

'I’m looking forward to reading more about Sika Haslund, as 'Black Angel' is one of this year's best and most original thrillers.’  

 

 

 

Skyggebjørn is published by Danish Alpha Forlag, while the Sika novels are published by Greenlandic Milik Publishing. The Short Story Collection is published by Danish/Icelandic Amanda Books.
