In my Nordic Noir group, Michael was our author of the month. Well, what is a girl to do when she has read what has been released set in Iceland...she lo...
After a good morning’s work at his flat, he had dropped in to the Café Josty for a cup of coffee. He was beginning to rather like the place, and Anneliese was right: they did have a good selection of foreign newspapers.

To her left the sea was a ruffled greyish blue; to her right the land was a...

Baldur listened closely, his long face drawn, lips pursed. ‘Did you get this woman I...
