Dogged but unremarkable Icelandic cop Sigurdur Óli reluctantly tries to help a friend being blackmailed with explicit photos, but quickly gets involved in a complex, murderous scheme in Arnaldur Indridason's Black Skies.
I am a huge fan of Indridason's police procedurals featuring flawed but insightful detective Erlendur (the first translated into English was Jar City) but this novel features a supporting character from the earlier novels, one of Erlendur's colleagues. It is a change of pace in tone (including some lighter subplots), but still features much of Indridason's very solid storytelling.
I am always on the lookout for more of Indridason's writing. This one I checked out from the Morrisson-Reeves Public Library in Richmond, Indiana and read quickly.
