review 1: When a man is discovered murdered in the Icelandic embassy in Berlin, Icelandic detectives are sent to investigate. There suspects quickly become the ambassador and six after hours dinner guests. The trail leads back to Iceland and a fire that claimed the life of a young woman decades earlier and pedophilia.

I love too how he weaves in c
... moreomical images of the quirky detectives and police technicians. It was a book that I could not put down and that I read quickly. less

Viktor er mun betri glæpasagnarithöfundur en margir aðrir sem hampað er.
