A hotel Santa (a former child prodigy with a voice like an angel) is stabbed to death and found with his furry red pants around his ankles.

    <body><![CDATA[excellent book once more by the Icelandic author, jar city and silence of the grave are perhaps slightly better, mostly because the side stories (erlundur's romantic interest, the story of the abused boy) here don't integrate perfectly with the main story, still heavily recommended!]]></body>
