This book was OK. It starts off with a snippet of the past - a boozy night, audacious plan and a threesome between academics.
Fast forward to the present day and Magnus, an Icelandic cop who has worked in the US and returned home, finds himself quickly investigating the murder of an Italian tourist.
Meanwhile a TV crew are in the country filming a documentary for the BBC which questions just how far Icelandic ancestors explored and whether they were actually the discoverers of North America.
As we proceed it becomes clear that these three groups/events are linked and members of the TV crew fall under suspicion.
Meanwhile the body count starts rising - just who has got a secret that they are desperate to keep hidden?
It's by no means a bad story but nefarious goings on around the subject of Icelandic archaeology perhaps just wasn't quite my kind of thrill.
