Grimsson #8
Detective Hörður Grimsson sits in an unmarked car outside Litla-Hraun prison, waiting. He is a formidable man, solitary and clairvoyant, with doom calling to him from all directions—he has survived peril at sea and the deadly avalanche in Súðavík, and battles the ghosts of his past every day. Yet, he strives to make the world a slightly better place, no matter the cost. The heavy prison gate opens, and out walks his enemy, the drug dealer, steroid monster, and underworld brute, Símon Örn Rekoja. An electrifying showdown looms between them, with the conflict stretching from Reykjavik to the Westfjords.
