Thriller Police Procedural
Svana Geirs, a TV fitness show host, is slain in her apartment. Her side profession as a well-paid call girl for a gentlemen's sex club suggests a possible motive. At about the same time, Ommi Magnusson, a local bruiser, escapes prison. At first glance, ReykjavΓk's Serious Crimes Unit, led by recently promoted Sergeant Gunnhildur ("Gunna"), doesn't think the two crimes are linked. But then Ommi's fresh handprints are found in Svana's apartment. Gunna learns that Ommi escaped prison to even the score for a crime he didn't commit a decade earlier, but he's not going to take the fall twice. If she can figure out Svana's client list, Gunna knows she will find the killer in both cases. VERDICT More so than the location, the strengths of this second series entry (after Frozen Assets) by a British author who lived in Iceland for ten years are Gunna's character and the methodically paced procedural. For fans of Nordic crime fiction.
