A Nabokovian goof on Agatha Christie a madcap mystery in the deceptive tradition of The Crying of Lot 49 Pale Firemeets The Da Vinci CodeIcelander is the debut novel from a brilliant new mind, an intricate, giddyIcelandic lore and pulpy intrigue.
When Our Heroines dear friend is found murdered, its an obvious job for her mother, a legendary crime-solver and evil-thwarter. But her mother is dead, and Our Heroine has no interest in inheriting the business, or being chased through a sewer, or listening to skaldic karaoke, or fleeing the inhuman Refusirkir, or But Evil has no interest in her interests, and thus: adventure ensues.
