They may not seem to have much in common, the North Iceland postman with hardly a penny to her name and the capitalist in Reykjavík carrying billions in debt in his briefcase. However, fate angles their paths together when the journalist Einar searches for justice no less than a front-page scoop.
Seldom has he come across a crime this complex. Nothing is what it used to be. Except that one man’s meat is still another man’s poison. Angel of the Morning is a crime novel set in contemporary Iceland, compelling and disturbing in its portrayal of lost innocence, the need for atonement, and acceptance of one’s origin.
