Blood on Snow by Jo Nesbø (2015) Knopf 

This book introduces Olav Johannsson, a fixer - a killer for hire and a philosopher.  He has dyslexia, so people think he is slow.  He’s not good at math, or being a pimp, or a drug runner.  He’s good at killing.  He paid-off the debt of a woman, Maria, a deaf-mute, forced into prostitution to pay off her lover’s drug debt.  His ‘boss’ has asked him to ‘fix’ his wife who has taken a lover.  Instead, Olav fixes the lover, who turns out to be his boss’s only son.  The writing is lyrical, set-up after set-up being used later in the book to fine advantage of the plot and the quality of the writing.  I’d recommend it as a good read to anyone.
