Welcome to Litsy!

Here we have some Norwegian crime with one of the more straightforwardly loathsome protag-detectives I've come across. I'm thinking and not recalling one redeemable action he performs throughout the entire book. Actually he pretty much makes the worst choice each time. Read and wince. But, nuance is not introduced by his own lack of monster-awareness/self-reflection nor by the book featuring adversaries that somehow manage to be worse than he is.
