Reykjavík: A Crime Story Airs Walking Tours, the Fifth From 1986


Summary: Reykjavík: A Crime Story, Icelandic standalone novel by authors Ragnar Jónasson and Katrín Jakobsdóttir, airs walking tours, the fifth from 1986.

"God talks to human beings through many vectors: through each other, through organized religion, through the great books of those religions, through wise people, through art and music and literature and poetry, but nowhere with such detail and grace and color and joy as through creation. When we destroy a species, when we destroy a special place, we're diminishing our capacity to sense the divine, understand who God is and what our own potential is." Robert Francis Kennedy Jr., April 19, 2023, Boston Park Plaza Hotel, Back Bay, Boston, Massachusetts.

“And there’s many people out there who want us to move to the next planet already and I’m like, hang on, let’s not give up on this planet yet," William, Prince of Wales, July 31, 2023, Sorted Food food truck, London, England, United Kingdom.


The bus station on Hlemmur Square (from Old Norse hlemmr, "trapdoor" via Icelandic hlemmur, "large [flat] lid [usually to pot, but also to box lid or trapdoor]") abounds with passengers such as investigative reporter Valur Róbertsson (from Old Norse valr, “falcon”; and hróðr bjartr, “fame/glory/honor/praise bright/light/shining”). Newspaper employment as reporter accepts Valur as ambulatory with bus lines. Newspaper employment as editor accepts Dagbjartur Steinsson (from Old Norse dagr bjartr steinn, “day bright/light/shining stone”) as ambulatory with an automobile. Hlemmur Square-accessible buses access Valur’s workplace from his rented abode on leafy Laugateigur (from Old Norse laug teigr, “bath/hot spring distinct land plot/portion”) near the Laugardalur (from Old Norse laug dalr, “bath/hot spring dale/valley”) swimming pool. That access accounts for his ambulating from his work area to Arnarhóll mound above Lækjargata (from Old Norse ari/ǫrn herr hóll, “eagle army hill/hillock/knoll” for first-known Norse settler Ingólfr Arnarson [849?-910?]; and lœkr gata, “brook/rivulet road/street”) and Karnabær record and fashion store on Austurstræti (from Old Norse bǿr, “farm/farmhouse/farmstead/landed estate/town”; and austr stræti, “east street”) about 200th-anniversary activities and Tjarnagata (from Old Norse tjǫrn gata, “lakelet/pond/pool/tarn road/street") about possible participants and witnesses to a 30-year-old unsolved crime. The Skúlagata (from Old Norse skýla magn/megin, "to protect/screen/shelter might/strength"; for Skúli Magnússon [Dec. 12, 1711-Nov. 9, 1794], Iceland bailiff from 1749 onward) bus stop accounts for his ambulating from the aforementioned areas back to his rented abode; Sunday, March 26, 2023, 10:56, image of bus stop on Hverfisgata ("Neighborhood Street") at Hlemmur, one of two main bus interchanges for city buses, which are operated in the Icelandic capital region by Strætó bs: Jonathan Dann (Cypp0847), CC BY SA 4.0 International, via Wikimedia Commons

Reykjavík: A Crime Story, anglicized in 2023 by Victoria Cribb from the Icelandic standalone novel authored in 2022 by Ragnar Jónasson and Katrín Jakobsdóttir, airs walking tours, fifth such tour from 1986.
Weekly coffee and waffles bring Valur Róbertsson and his sister, Sunna (from Old Norse valr hróðr bjartr, “falcon fame/glory/honor/praise bright/light/shining”; and sunna, “sun”), to Café Mokka. The 25-year-old investigative reporter and the 23-year-old University of Iceland comparative literature student respectively converse about Lára Marteinsdóttir and Elías Mar (July 22, 1924-May 23, 2007). Valur dawdles fruitlessly around Ármúli offices, not the “upmarket suburb” (Jónasson/Jakobsdóttir:78) Gardabær (from Icelandic garða, “castle/court/courtyard/dwellilng/enclosed space/fence/hold/house/stronghold/yard”; and Old Norse bǿr, “farm/farmhouse/farmstead/landed estate/town” via Icelandic Garðabær).
Sunna escapes from her modernist-elucidating dissertation to enjoy her Hlídar district rental on lower-sloped Öskjuhlíð hill (from Icelandic askja, “little box/[caldera] volcano”; Old Norse hlíð, “slope”).

Affluence accounts for Dagbjartur Steinsson ambulating between his Kárastígur (from Old Norse kára, “curly[-haired]/obstinate”; and Icelandic stígur, “footpath/path”) office and his residence with wife Laufey Karlsdóttir (from Old Norse lauf ėy arr/herr dóttir, “foliage/leaf flat land along a coast/floodplain/island army daughter”), both in downtown Reykjavík’s (from Old Norse reykr vík, “smoke bay”) old Thingholt (from Old Norse Þing holt, “[legal parliamentary] assembly hillock/rough stony ridge/wood”) district. Dagbjartur accustoms himself to equivalent or greater affluence in his friends and lesser affluence in such employees as Baldur Matthíasson, Kiddi, Sverrir (from Old Norse baldr, "bold/dangerous/strong"; and Hebrew מַתִּתְיָהוּ, "gift of God"; [nickname] Kris, from Icelandic Kristján (from Greek χρῑστός, “the anointed one”; from Old Norse sverri-, "swinging around/troublemaker") and Valur. Kiddi and Valur achieve respective relocations to the capital city from Breidholt and Húsavík (from Old Norse breiðr holt, "broad hillock/rough stony ridge/wood"; and hús vík, "house bay/cove/inlet"). The latter's Húsavík acquaintance, Gunnar Gunnarsson (from Old Norse guðr/gunnr -arr/herr, "battle/fight army"), and the latter’s sister, Sunna Róbertsdóttir (from Old Norse sunna hróðr bjartr dóttir, “fame/glory/honor/praise bright/light/shining sun daughter"), achieve less aggressive attention as University of Iceland dissertators about the Sermon on the Mount's "Judge not, that ye be not judged" and about modernist writer Elías Mar (July 22, 1924-May 23, 2007, from Hebrew אֵלִיָּה, "My God is Yahweh"; and Old Norse marr/mærr, "famous"); Saturday, Aug. 6, 2005, 10:14, image of "typical Reykjavik buildings," Kárastígur, Þingholt area, downtown Reykjavik: WorldIslandInfo.com, CC BY 2.0 Generic, via Wikimedia Commons

Telephone-tipster Júlia (from Old Norse jól, “yule”?) finds Valur at Vikubladid (from Old Norse vika blað, “week plant-leaf” via Icelandic Vikubladid, “week news”) offices on Kárastígur.
Editor Dagbjartur Steinsson’s Kárastígur (from Old Norse kára, “curly[-haired]/obstinate”; and Icelandic stígur, “footpath/path”) offices give onto Faxaflói bay (Old Norse faxi flói, “horse/mane bay/gulf/marsh/swamp”) and Videy. Dagbjartur Steinsson’s star reporter hears of Lára fatally harmed on Videy (from Old Norse viðr ey, “wood[ed] island”), perhaps what Ólöf Blöndal heard at Gardabær seances. He informs Dagbjartur (from Old Norse dagr bjartr steinn, “day bright/light/shining stone”), not Videy property-owning Óttarr Óskarsson (from Old Norse ótti geirr/her ǫss, “terror spear/army heathen-god”).
Thursday, Aug. 14, through Monday, Aug. 18, 1986, juxtaposes, in number 5 of Reykjavík: A Crime Story walking tours, Valur’s perspective on what jeopardizes 200th-anniversary jubilations.

Högni Eyfjörd (from Old Norse hagi, “pasture” or hagr, “skilled”; Old Norse ey, “island”; and Icelandic fjörður, “deep, long, narrow inlet between cliffs") acknowledges as his issue son Tomás (from Aramaic תאומא, "twin") with childhood sweetheart María (from Egyptian mry, "beloved" or Hebrew מִרְיָם, "bitter"), daughter Dýrleif Önnudóttir Eyfjörd (from Old Norse dýr lėif, "deer/wild animal inheritance/legacy"; Hebrew חַנָּה, "compassionate/gracious/merciful"; Old Norse dóttir, "daughter"; ey, “island”; and Icelandic fjörður, “deep, long, narrow inlet between cliffs") with Anna (from Hebrew חַנָּה, "compassionate/gracious/merciful") and four-year-old son with Fridrika Halldórs (from Old Norse friðr hallr/hella þórr, "love/peace/protection flat stone/slate thunder"). He acquires development accomplishments throughout the capital city, where he acquits himself appropriately to activate Geldinganes (from Old Norse geldingr, "castrated ram") headland development. Such activities actualize no aggression or anger against him by area news authorities such as Morgunbladid (from Old Norse morginn/morgunn/myrginn blað, "morning plant-leaf" via Icelandic Morgunblaðið, "Morning News") or by area radio and television. He adds among his personal and professional associates Páll Jóhannesson (from Latin paulus, "small" via Old Norse Páll, "Paul"; and Hebrew יוֹחָנָן, "God is gracious"); Sunday, June 24, 2007, 12:43, image of Ráðherrabústaðurinn (Minister's Residence), along Tjörnin ("the pond"), Tjarnagatu 32, central Reykjavik: TommyBee, Public Domain, via Wikimedia Commons

Valur keeps after Marteinsdóttir detective Kristján Kristjánsson (from Latin Laurentia, “Laurentum[, Latium, central Italy via laurus, “laurel tree”] woman”; Greek χρῑστός, “anointed one”; Latin -iānus, “-like”).
Valur leaves the Grafarvogur (from Old Norse grǫf vágr, “grave/trench bay/inlet/ocean/sea/wave”) suburban prefabricated one-story for Högni Eyfjörd’s (from Old Norse hagi, “enclosure/pasture” or hagr, “capable/skilled”) offices. The Langholt (from Old Norse langr holt, “distant/far/long/wearisome hillock/rough stony ridge/wood”) Church chorister moved from Efstasund flat-living (from Old Norse efri sund, “higher/later/superior/top/upper channel/narrow swimmable waters/sound/strait”). Valur nabs the Ofanleiti luxury-apartment block resident at Tjörnin-area (from Old Norse ofan leita, “above the surface of/downwards/from above to search/seek”; tjǫrn, “lakelet/pond/pool/tarn") Eyfjörd Development Ltd.
Omitted opportunities Aug. 14-18, 1986, with Eyfjörd family members, with Ólöf Blöndal and Gunnlaug Haraldsdóttir, obstruct the fifth tour of Reykjavík: A Crime Story walking tours.

A summer cabin in Skorradalur (from Old Norse Skorri dalur, "loud one/purring one dale/valley") and an affluent west-end house on Grenimelur (from Icelandic greni melur, "[fox-]lair/spruce [Picea] gravel bed/gravel plain/lyme grass/sand rye grass [Leymus arenarius]/sea lyme grass/small gravel or sand hillock") address Páll Jóhannesson's away time from Reykjavík City Council responsibilities on Borgartún (from Old Norse borg tún, "castle/city/fortified place/town courtyard/dweling field/dwelling meadow/hedged plot/homestead") street. He admits wife Gunnlaug Haraldsdóttir (from Old Norse guðr/gunnr laug, "battle/fight bath/hot-spring"; -arr/herr valdr, "army ruler"; dóttir, "daughter") as advancing whatever advances him and their two-children family personally and professionally. An affair with secretary Elisabet Eyjólfsdóttir (from Hebrew אֱלִישֶׁבַע, "God is an oath"; and Old Norse dóttir, "daughter") at her Njálsgata (from Old Irish nél/niadh, "cloud/champion"?; and Old Norse gata, "road/street") apartment nevertheless agrees with him even as 200th-anniversary celebrations through a Reykjavík Cathedral (from Icelandic Dómkirkjan í Reykjavík, "cathedral in Reykjavik") service Monday, Aug. 18, 1986, alert him to family values affirmed by Reverend Halldór (hallr/hella þórr, "love/peace/protection flat stone/slate thunder"). Such services allow him to amble among his constituency even as he anchors himself in both "Protect our green areas" (Jónasson/Jakobsdóttir:143) and Lake Raudavatn (from Old Norse rauður vatn, "red lake/river/waterway" via Icelandic Rauðavatn) building lots, what with property "the only asset that could ride out the constant economic fluctuations, galloping inflation and interesting-rate hikes" (Jónasson/Jakobsdóttir:144); Saturday, Oct. 2, 2010, 14:43, image of Skorradalur, southernmost valley in Borgarfjörður, fjord and district in southwestern Iceland: Axel Kristinsson from Reykjavík, Iceland, CC BY 2.0 Generic, via Wikimedia Commons

Valur never pursues María and son Tomás, Anna and daughter Dýrleif Önnudóttir Eyfjörd, Fridrika Halldórs and four-year-old son; Páll Jóhannesson’s secretary Elisabet Eyjólfsdóttir or wife Gunnlaug.
Coke and pizza at Hornid restaurant with girlfriend Margrét Thorarensen, 21-year-old daughter of conservative Gardabær residents and University of Iceland politics student, qualifies as weekend distraction. Fellow employees Baldur Matthíasson and Sverrir render no help even as Vikubladid photographer Kiddi realizes, for Valur’s anniversary-related article, relevant photographs regarding cake-eating events on Lækjargata. Sunday television news say that Valur perhaps solved Lára Martinsdóttir’s 30-year-old disappearance even as Dagbjartur perhaps spreads the secretest secret shared about Lára and Arnfrídur Leifsdóttir.
The fifth, 1986 tour of Reykjavík: A Crime Story walking tours finally teams Kárastígur with the central post office, Austurstræti, Lækjargata and the Skúlagata bus stop.

Hornid (from Icelandic horn, "angle/corner/fin/horn" via Icelandic Hornið, "The Corner") restaurant Coke and pizza on Hafnarstræti (from Old Norse Hafnar, "haven"?; and stræti, "street") with Valur animates Margrét Thorarensen (from Greek μαργαρίτης, "pearl"; and Old Norse þórr, "thunder"; arinn, "fireplace/immolation place" or arn, "eagle" or varinn/varr/verja/vǫrr, "alert, careful, cautious, faithful, loyal, watchful/attentive, aware, shy, wise/to defend/careful" via Icelandic Þórarinn). Valur applies himself to National Library archives even as he appreciates Margrét's acquaintance with National Registry employee Katrín Gudjónsdóttir (from Greek Αικατερινη, from εκατερος, "each of the two"/αικια, "torture"/‘εκας, "far off"/ἑκατόν, "hundred"/καθαρος, "pure"; and Old Norse guð rún dóttir, “god rune daughter”) for ascertaining Arnfrídur Leifsdóttir (from Old Norse ari/ǫrn fríðr/frídhr lėif dóttir, "eagle beautiful inheritance/legacy daughter") whereabouts. Margrét and Valur associate among at-home activities such a "cosy night in" (Jónasson/Jakobsdóttir:113) as assuring themselves of rented video- if not Bergerac and Columbo television program-attending; Friday, Sep. 2, 2016, 18:40, image of Hafnarstræti, central Reykjavik: Raf24~commonswiki, CC BY SA 4.0 International, via Wikimedia Commons
