a Reykjavik thriller

It was emotional. 
And i didn't expect that, hut its what got it to such a high rating for me. I read this for a college course and we were looking at gender roles. While this book had a lot of problem (which was expected) putting that aside the aspect of genetics was cool since it was a bit newer (not new enough to not have any real dynamic main female protags but whatever) 2002 newer. But 2002 is old now.

A man is found murdered in his Reykjavik flat. There are no obvious clues apart from a cryptic note left on the body and a photograph of a young girl's grave. Delving into the dead man's life Detective Erlendur discovers that forty years ago he was accused of an appalling crime, but never convicted. Had his past come back to haunt him? As Erlendur struggles to build a relationship with his unhappy daughter, his investigation takes him to Iceland's Genetic Research Centre, where he uncovers disturbing secrets that are even darker than the murder of an old man. Jar City is the first book in the series starring Detective Erlendur available in English
