"Tightly crafted,
Daybreak takes the reader into the minds of two unique detectives as they try to unravel the motives and culprits behind the murders of goose hunters. Juxtaposed with American styles, the subtle differences in Icelandic hunting and detective work make for a provoking story." -Bobby Cole author of

Epub Daybreak
Goose hunting in Iceland is now part of my repertoire of knowledge. Who'd have thought? Viktor Golfasson, the author of 'Daybreak', has written a fascinating, suspenseful novel. I have been a lover of mysteries my entire life and have read everything fit to print, I kid you not! This novel kept my interest from the first page, the last chapter was so filled with tension I could feel my heartbeat accelerating.
'The Violent Crime Unit' in Reykjavik houses some of the most interesting of characters. Gunnar Mariuson and Bikir Hinriksson are two of them. Gunnar is older and a long time policeman, tall and overweight, advanced to Detective. Bikir is of Asian descent, slim and short in stature. These two unlikely people are best friends and partners in the division. They like each other, Gunnar is more outgoing, drinks a lot, probably an alcoholic, and does most of the talking. Bikir is a runner and thinker. Good combination. I came to like both of these characters, but if pushed, would say Bikir is my favorite.
Someone is killing hunters, goose hunters. Out in the rural Rea, the country, someone has killed three hunters. The rifle is known, and the last murder has a witness. The trajectory to get to the murderer is one I would never in a million years have guessed. I have read every mystery/thriller/police procedural, and I have read it all. This novel was so different and fascinating to me. I loved the characters, the country, the description of the area, the questions and answers that must be provided to keep the killer from killing again. This type of writing is so superb that it separates this mystery from every other. I have read a previous novel by the author, 'House of Evidence', and found it excellent. This novel, however, surpasses that in every way.
