ob·liv·i·on
/əˈblivēən/

noun: oblivion

the state of being unaware or unconscious of what is happening.“they drank themselves into oblivion“

the state of being forgotten, especially by the public.“his name will fade into oblivion“

extinction.“only our armed forces stood between us and oblivion.”

The second of the Erlendur prequels, in which we go back to his younger days on the Reykjavík police force. Two cases are juggled deftly, one playing into Erlendur's obsession with missing persons cases, one drawing on the US military presence in Iceland during the Cold War. A good read.

This series of close-up's is for @Andrew65 and others who wanted them 😁👍🏻. Half of the Nordic table. #LitsyLovesLibraries

I liked the book. Thriller. Nordic noir. Set in Icelan. Used for my #popsugarchallenge2018 and #readingaroundtheworld #litsychallenges Book 4 @JenP

Perfect way to spend the holiday - reading an entire book in one day. I enjoyed this early look at detective Erlunder and get some of his back story. And I love the Icelandic setting - someday I'll visit.

I enjoy this series translated from the Icelandic. This installment returns us to Erlendur's youth. It's 1979 and he's a newish detective. Gritty and well written books.
