Just when I thought there couldn't possibly be any more good Scandinavian detective writers ...

I highly recommend this Icelandic police procedural. It's well written, plotted, and paced. The characters are beautifully drawn and the local color plays an integral part in the unfolding drama. Don't ask what the title means ... all will be revealed in time.

The author's middle-aged, stressed-out, world-weary homicide detective (with personal problems just a tad better than those suffered by his customers) takes an honored place in a long line of similar protagonists. I will happily dig in to the other books in this series.
