Summary: Biscuits, burgers, chips, dried fish appeal to police in Blackout, anglicized from Myrknætti, third thriller in the Dark Iceland sextet by Ragnar Jónasson.
Stockfish, as cold air- and wind-dried unsalted fish, appeals as a healthy snack to Ari Thór Arason (“eagle thunder eagle’s son”). Ari Thór appreciates stockfish as harðfiskur (Romanized hardfiskur, dried fish, “hard fish” literally). He avails himself of ocean catfish, of which three species are accessible to Icelandic fishermen: Atlantic (Anarhichas lupus), northern (A. denticulatus) and spotted (A. minor); 2005 image of stockfish drying in Iceland: Chris 73 / Wikimedia Commons, CC BY SA 3.0 Unported, via Wikimedia Commons |
Biscuits, burgers, chips, dried fish appeal to policemen in Blackout, anglicized from Myrknætti (Romanized Myrknaetti, “dark night), third thriller in the Dark Iceland sextet about Ari Thór Arason by author Ragnar Jónasson.
The third thriller begins with policeman Ari Thór Arason (“eagle thunder eagle’s son”) browsing downtown Siglufjörður’s (Romanized Siglufjördur, “mast, sailing fjord”) fish shop and town-center bakery. Ari Thór chooses not to consume either chocolate comestibles or cinnamon buns called hnútar (“twist") in Siglufjördur Icelandic but snúður (Romanized snúdur, “twist”) in Reykjavík Icelandic. He decides upon ocean catfish as harðfiskur (Romanized hardfiskur, dried fish, “hard fish” literally) snacks even as he does not disdain the police station’s chocolate biscuits.
Hlynur (“maple tree [Acer spp]”), as Ari Thór’s co-worker, and Tómas (“twin”), as Ari Thór’s superior, eat chocolate biscuits with their coffee at Siglufjördur police station.
Ari Thór finishes station biscuits and coffee when he finds himself, for case follow-up, with Akureyri (“sandbank field”) Criminal Investigation Division (CID) Senior Detective Helga (“holy”).
Officer Arason goes without when Jónína (“dove”), historian Bjarki’s (“bearcub”) neighbor and Jóhann’s (“god is gracious”) wife, gets biscuits and coffee together at his visit’s end. Nobody else has chocolate biscuits even as Ari Thór’s ex-girlfriend, Kristín (“Christ-bearer”), and her friend have hot chocolate, cream and apple pie on their first date. Ari Thór invokes Christmas apples that he identifies with his mother, an Icelandic Symphony Orchestra violinist, and he perhaps ingested with Christmas chocolates and hot chocolate.
Perhaps Ari Thór and Tómas in Blackout, anglicized from Myrknætti, jubilate with burgers, chips and dried-fish sandwiches, journeying from Siglufjördur chocolate biscuits to similar Akureyri-station fare.
A possible television interview by Ísrún (“ice secret”) kindles bestest coffee and chocolate rum cake, not chocolate biscuits, with retired dentist Nóra (“north”?) Pálsdóttir (“humble's daughter”).
Perhaps Reykjavík (“smoky bay”) newscaster Ísrún, like Ari Thór loving most black tea and dried catfish, instead likes cappuccino (“brown-red[-colored Capuchin monk cowl]”) and fish-market halibut. A fish restaurant for their second date and haddock dinner Monday evenings respectively mean that fish mealtimes matter to Kristín and her friend and to Hlynur. Soupy lunches every day and fishy dinners Monday through Thursday nourish disgraced doctor Ríkharður (Romanized Ríkhardur, “empire [or] kingdom strong”) Lindgren (“linden [tree, Tilia spp] branch”).
Ríkhardur in Blackout, anglicized from Myrknætti, obtains beef mince Fridays; chicken Saturdays; lamb Sundays; biscuits, burgers, chips never; dried fish perhaps some weeks, fresh fish others.
Pudding, rice, soup, spiced chicken please contractor Elías (“my god Yahwe”) Freysson (“lord’s son”) even as Kristín prepares greens, potatoes, roast for her friend and herself.
Kristín quests coffee with Natan (“[god] has given”), Akureyri university student and Ari Thór’s and her mutual friend, and red wine with cheeses with her friend. Nóra retains coffee, red and white wines even as Elías reaches for beer, with which foreman Hákon (“horse clan”?) perhaps rewards himself away from coffeehouse refills. Jónatan (“Yahweh has given”), acquaintance from Elías’ farmhouse summers, serves himself milk and skyr (“separated [yogurt-like curdled milk]”) even as Móna shares milk with cousin Tómas.
Katrín in Blackout, anglicized from Myrknætti, treats friend Isbjörg’s (“ice helper”) granddaughter, Ísrún, to milk and biscuits, never to burgers, chips, dried fish that tempt policemen.
