Outrage (2008) by Arnaldur Indridason

Translated from the Swedish 2011

The murder victim rapes using a date-rape drug on his unsuspecting 'hook-ups'.  He, however, his found murdered (throat slit) in his home.  The woman he raped is accused and then her father is also help responsible, yet both are innocent, in spite of intense police interrogation. Yet this murder is linked to other crimes of rape and missing persons.  let's not omit two suicides also connected to the murdered man.  Connections to the man's rural home are made. This village is a place where secrets are held for generations.  All the while, the police officer must reconcile her police work with her family responsibilities. Not an easy task.
