The novel is gripping. Erlendur is arguably Nordic fiction’s unhappiest and loneliest but most intriguing detective… It’s a sad disturbing book, chilling both in its setting and in the depths of human angst is explores

Be warned: if you’ve ever spent time with this marvelous Scandi crime character, you’ll be hard pressed to hold back a tear

It's a hell of a good book. Funny and scary. She nails the feuding moms.

Not only an enthralling murder investigation... but a plot that is strengthened and illuminated by two of the best characters I have read for some time- reporter Sully Carter and his cohort, the streetwise gangster Sly Hastings... their exchanges are pure gold.

This is a terrific first novel by a man with a long career in journalism. The tale builds to a dramatic conclusion, with a final unexpected and terrible twist in the tail.
