There is a lot of interest in Scandinavian crime novels after the Steig Larson books. This one is written by an American who lived in Finland, and is set in Finland, above the Arctic Circle.
I read a lot of crime novels (police procedurals) and this is one of the best I've read in a long time. The writing seems stilted at times, but eventually, you come to appreciate the wide gulf between the characters and the reader as well as the wide language gulf. Thompson does an incredible job here. I cannot wait to get his second book.
