The Land of Opportunities. A suspense novel by Ævar Örn Jósepsson.
A good copy, signed.
Iceland was a land of opportunity in the eyes of Marek Pawlak. Here he intended to start a new life with his fiancée and brother, on the right side of the law and free from all the ghosts of the past. He started working in the construction industry – but then saw new opportunities that he could not in good conscience pass up. Like Marek, Daníel Marteinsson was in the construction industry, although on different terms. In a surprisingly short time, he became one of the richest men in the country, a cold-blooded adventurer who bathed in the spotlight of the media and the admiration of the public and the government alike. The autumn of 2008 proved fateful. Andrzej, Marek's brother, is found murdered and the magnificent gambling house of Daníel and his adventurer friends collapses, with dire consequences for the entire Icelandic nation. When Daniel's badly mutilated body is found in the half-finished mansion (which he was building instead of the one he had demolished), there is no shortage of suspects. . . Detectives Katrín, Guðni, Árni and Stefán quickly find connections between these completely different people – but whether they are of any significance is another matter entirely. (Bókatíðindi 2008).
