“Kalla’s writing has grown over the years and this book, with its well-written descriptions of the far north, is one of his best. He blends social and cultural images into the thriller and keeps the pace running. A storyline I was convinced was the plot turns out to be a huge herring. Shows I can still be hornswoggled by a good twisty tale.”
— The Globe and Mail“A gripping, heartbreaking, and enthralling suspense so vividly immersive that I was hooked from the first page. With crisp, powerful writing and two extremely compelling voices, Kalla draws you in to the remote, intriguing world of the Arctic and the tragic, inexplicable suicide clusters that have ravaged a small, tight-knit town. Kalla is a clever master of surprise, dropping subtle clues and expertly changing course, so you can’t possibly look away until the mystery is solved. It’s an absolute must-read from a remarkable talent.”
— SAMANTHA M. BAILEY, USA Today and #1 nationally bestselling author of Woman on the Edge“A gripping thriller about a remote community and a potential miracle cure for depression gone wrong. Kalla excels at atmosphere and introducing us to environments that are unique in the genre. He deftly weaves together intrigue and important questions about how we treat mental health and ourselves, and I couldn’t put this down until I discovered how it all worked out. Fast-paced and complex, this is a must-read.”
— CATHERINE McKENZIE, bestselling author of Six Weeks to Live and I’ll Never Tell “Explores powerful themes in Kalla’s signature page-turning style. With hairpin turns and shocking twists, readers will be captivated until the final page.”
— ROBYN HARDING, bestselling author of The Perfect Family“Kalla is unparalleled in his ability to create compelling characters that embody societal trauma and medical complexities. The Darkness in the Light explores rural northern health care, the unrelenting pressure of depression, and pharmaceutical treatments with great care. Both heartbreaking and brave, this is a boldly written story that fans will love and new readers will devour.”
— AMBER COWIE, author of Last One Alive“Kalla’s Alaskan whodunit delights . . . Just remember that Vancouver E.R. doctor Daniel Kalla not only writes superb medical thrillers with a pronounced social edge—his books are also terrific murder mysteries.”
— Winnipeg Free Press“If you enjoy gripping, psychological thrillers, Daniel Kalla’s book The Darkness in The Light will hold your attention to the very end.”
— British Columbia Review“Emergency room physician Danial Kalla is one of Canada’s bestselling and most impressive writers, and his latest novel, The Darkness in the Light, demonstrates why.”
