We are pleased to announce that writer Jon Atli Jonasson has recently signed an agreement for the translation rights of his “Broken” series with the German publishing house S. Fischer. This agreement will see the first two books of the series published on S. Fischer’s crime list.
The “Broken” series, set in contemporary Reykjavik, is a crime story characterized by its hard-boiled narrative and engaging plot. The series captures the essence of Reykjavik, a city marked by its contradictions, and is infused with dark humor and distinctive characters. Jonasson’s writing has been influenced by notable works such as “Clockers” by Richard Price, “Police” by Jo Nesbo, “Heat” by Michael Mann, “Blacktop Wasteland” by S.A. Cosby, and “The Bridge” by Hans Rosenfeldt.
Jonasson’s work, which has received multiple awards, has been showcased extensively across Europe, both on stage and screen. The partnership with S. Fischer, a publisher known for its diverse and quality-driven catalog, is an exciting development for Jonasson’s international reach. We look forward to the upcoming release of the “Broken” series in Germany and are excited for readers to experience Jonasson’s captivating narrative. Further updates about the series and its publication will be shared in due course.
