Description
Kalmann is a lovable oddball in the village of Raufarhöfn high in the rugged north of Iceland. Since his father once gave him a cowboy hat with a sheriff's star, he has also been the self-proclaimed sheriff of the small town. And as such, he has his hands full once again: While the town is passionately debating the planned salmon farming by the Norwegians, he discovers an old tin box containing a whole heap of money. This arouses desires, and Kalmann finds himself in the middle of a opaque game. Presented by: Joachim B. Schmidt, born in 1981, raised in the Swiss canton of Graubünden, emigrated to Iceland in 2007. His novels, including 'Kalmann' and 'Tell', are bestsellers and have received numerous awards, including the Crime Cologne Award and most recently the Glauser Prize. The dual citizen lives with his wife and two children in Reykjavík.
