Pierce’s Pick: The Day Is Dark by Yrsa Sigurdardottir

This week Yrsa Sigurdardottir, noted Icelandic author of crime and children’s fiction, catches J. Kingston Pierce’s eye. The Rap Sheet editor says:

Small-time Icelandic attorney Thóra Gudmundsdóttir (last seen in 2009’s My Soul to Take) is hired to investigate the vanishing of two of her fellow countrymen, who had been working on the northeast coast of Greenland. Do the locals’ hostility toward Thóra’s questions derive from this case as well as a previous disappearance?
