In the abyss

Sigurð Óli is young, bright, attractive, and has studied criminology in the US, but now he's having a bad personal and professional moment just when someone makes a mask with a nail in his forehead. It is an "infernal mask" formerly used by Icelandic farmers to slaughter calves. Lovers of crime fiction need no more to know that this is their book. Pure Arnaldur Indridason, a master of noir.
