A body is found floating in the harbor of a rural Icelandic fishing village. Was it an accident, or something more sinister? It’s up to Officer Gunnhildur, a sardonic female cop, to find out. Her investigation uncovers a web of corruption connected to Iceland’s business and banking communities. Meanwhile, a rookie crime journalist latches onto her, looking for a scoop, and an anonymous blogger is stirring up trouble. The complications increase, as do the stakes, when a second murder is committed. Frozen Assets is a piercing look at the endemic corruption that led to the global financial crisis that bankrupted Iceland’s major banks and sent the country into an economic tailspin from which it has yet to recover.

I gave up after 50 pages..pure formulaic....rubbish....where did all those 5 star reviews come from...I could write better
This book was good..Quentin Bates isn't my favorite Nordic Noir author but the book was enough to keep me entertained. The storyline bored me a little bit because of the subject(no spoilers), but I loved the main character, so I already have his next book Cold Comfort: An Officer Gunnhildur Mystery ...
