Einar, journaliste au Journal du soir, est de retour à Akureyri pour quelques temps, et lorsqu'il se rend au travail un matin, il découvre une employée de la poste décédée sur la voie publique. Alors qu'il s'apprête à mener l'enquête sur ce meurtre, son patron le renvoie à Reykjavik pour interviewer un capitaliste malhonnête et en pleine faillite. La fille de celui-ci est enlevée quelques jours plus tard...
Encore une fois, c'est avec plaisir que j'ai retrouvé Einar et les autres personnages récurrents de cette saga. Le suspens est toujours au rendez-vous et les situations toujours aussi difficiles (si vous cherchez du happy end, passez votre chemin).
En bref : toujours aussi bien !

Ágætis afþreying.

A finely, tightly knit plot complete with a scathing social satire, acid enough to put any commentator to shame. Highly recommended - intelligent entertainment hardly comes any better.

It was good slow and good. Not the best crime book I ever read but worth reading.
