Bestselling and award-winning Icelandic crime author Yrsa Sigurdardottir is back with the next book in her Thora Gudmundsdottir series. SOMEONE TO WATCH OVER ME, the fifth installment in the Thora Gudmundsdottir series, was named Crime Novel of the Year by the Sunday Times.

A young man with Down's Syndrome has been convicted of burning down his assisted living facility and killing five people, but a fellow inmate at his secure psychiatric unit has hired Thora to prove Jakob is innocent. If he didn't do it, who did? And how is the multiple murder connected to the death of a young woman, killed in what was supposed to be a hit-and-run?

""Iceland's Sigurdardottir is the reigning queen of mysteries, earning accolades worldwide and even an upcoming TV series. She deserves every bit of her praise. Her series about Reykjavik lawyer Thora Gudmundsdottir is one of the best out there: spunky but smart heroine, wonderfully exotic setting, great subplots about Iceland's financial collapse and intriguing mysteries that always manage to satisfyingly come together. "Someone to Watch Over Me" may be her best Thora book, seductively weaving together two seemingly disparate stories about a man with Down Syndrome accused of burning down his group home and the hit-and-run-death of a babysitter who now seems to be haunting her young charge." --"Cleveland Plain Dealer" (Grade: A)
