Title : The King's Book - Arnaldur Indridason - Book
Summary :
"Indridason strings together twists and turns to graft the true story, that of the double kidnapping, physical and symbolic, from the book, onto the fiction of a chase. We entered this treasure hunt feeling light and ignorant, and we emerge armed to the teeth with the story of these strange islanders. And bitten by the mystery of their sagas."
