Daybreak 50%

Murderer is nicknamed the Gander because he (so far) has killed only geese hunters. However, a twist.  The body of a "suicide" from a year earlier is discovered--did the Gander commit this crime too.  And another twist. The Gander challenges the police with riddles.  "Solve it by X or someone else will die."  He informs them that he hunts men for the pleasure of killing.

Good cop pairing.  Vietnamese boat person, not thoroughly Icelandic except for his looks, paired with Gunnar.  Brains and brawn; dapper and dowdy; healthy and heavy drinker .  . . but they make a good team.  Pretty good so far.

He became one of the most influential and admired British generals after a series of successes in Canada, West Africa, and Egypt, followed by a central role in modernizing the British Army in promoting efficiency. He served in Burma, the  Crimean War , the  Indian Mutiny , China, Canada and widely throughout Africa—including his  Ashanti  campaign (18...
