Upon her release, she begins investigating a string of cases previously ruled as accidents or suicides, all of which lead back to an event that occurred more than two decades before.<\/p>\n<p><em>Hilma<\/em> was awarded Bl\u00f3\u00f0dropinn as the best Icelandic crime novel in 2016, the same year it was nominated for the Glass Key award as the best crime novel in the Nordics. It was\u00a0written by \u00d3skar Gu\u00f0mundsson.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<em>Hilma<\/em> captivated me as soon as I started reading the book,\u201d said director and producer Ragnar Agnarsson from Sagafilm. \u201cThe character is very well thought out and is a great juxtaposition to the hard world of violence and crime. The world that \u00d3skar has created is realistic and triggering but above all, it is exciting.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are thrilled to bring this strong character to life in a true Nordic Noir fashion,\u201d added Hilmar Sigurdsson, CEO of Sagafilm. \u201cWith <em>Hilma<\/em>, \u00d3skar Gu\u00f0mundsson delivers an atmospheric, page-turning and brilliantly constructed thriller.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Gu\u00f0mundsson commented: \u201cSagafilm shows both me and my novel great honor by committing to creating a TV series about Hilma. The character itself is very dear to me and I am certain that viewers will also be infatuated by Hilma, the powerful detective and her work.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Icelandic production outfit Sagafilm has landed the rights to adapt the award-winning novel Hilma for television.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":350,"featured_media":10824,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[70],"tags":[1823],"class_list":["post-10823","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-sagafilm","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 -
