66 Degrees North

By: Michael Ridpath

Narrated by: Seán Barrett

Iceland 1934: Two boys playing see something they shouldn't have. The consequences will haunt them and their families for generations. Iceland 2009: the credit crunch bites. The currency has been devalued, savings annihilated, lives ruined. Grassroots revolution is in the air, as is the feeling that someone ought to pay.... And in a country where everyone knows everybody, it isn't hard to draw up a list of exactly who is responsible. And then, one by one, to cross them off.

Iceland 2010: As bankers and politicians start to die, at home and abroad, it is up to Magnus Jonson to unravel the web of conspirators. But while Magnus investigates the crimes of the present, the crimes of the past are catching up with him.

Not as interesting as other Nordic books I've

Not as entertaining as other Nordic books I've read. Difficult to stay interested. Unlikely to try more from this author. Narrator Sean Barrett could not save this one.
