Jar City: A Reyjavik Thriller by Arnaldur Indridason 278 pp.
Inspector Erlandur Sveinsson and his team investigate the murder of a man in his home. The more they dig into the man's history in hope of a clue to the murderer, the more awful things they learn about the victim. The least of the awful things is his history as a rapist and the consequences of those rapes on his victims. In addition to the murder investigation, Erlandur is unofficially investigating a runaway bride who happens to be known by his daughter. There's a lot of sordid stuff in this well written mystery. I've read a couple others by this author and will seek out more.
