PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
Master of arctic crime Mads Peder Nordbo has recently returned to Denmark after a long stint in Greenland, where he worked at the town hall in Nuuk. He has written six novels and been published in eighteen languages. The Girl Without Skin, also published by Text, was the first of his books to be translated into English.
This intricate crime novel mixes a grisly plot with interesting insights into Greenland's history and culture. --Canberra Weekly While there are similarities to Stieg Larsson's Millennium series, Nordbo's writing is far more poetic. Though dazzled by the icecap's beauty, he's not blinded to the darkness of man. --SA Weekend A very satisfying thriller. Packed to the brim with grisly murders, corrupt officials, and sinister secrets, all set against the bleak, yet oddly beautiful, Greenlandic landscape. --AU Review
