Trophy, Jacobsen - B++

                                               This is an absolutely fabulous Danish novel that opens with an amazing prologue. A  couple are hiking in the very far north of Norway in the early spring when they are kidnapped, drugged and told they are now prey for a team of hunters. The man is given a hunting rifle with three bullets and they are told to take off.  The story focuses on two people investigating the event. One is a private investigator hired by the daughter of the shooter, who discovers a CD in her father's safe after his death. The other is a policewoman looking into the suicide of a Danish soldier who served in Afghanistan and was part of the hunting team. This is a helluva read with a ton of fascinating plot twists along the way. I suspect I like the stories set in the frozen north because of my affection for Colorado in the wintertime. Thanks again, Wendell. The only reason this doesn't merit an A is that I never give the thriller/police procedurals that high a grade.
