The professional killer's guide to cleaning houses

Author: Halgrímur Helgason Translator: Karim Kelani Publisher: Al-Mahrousa Pages: 325 The guide for the professional killer to clean houses is Helgason's only novel written in English. The author's own translation was published in Iceland in 2008 and became one of the best-selling books in Germany in 2010. In this novel, we look at the world through the lens of a professional Croatian killer and a dirty one in New York, then he lost his way to Iceland after killing a priest at the airport and taking over his identity. And in the cold country despite the continuous sunshine day and night, the killer discovers that the priest is actually the one who killed him, so he either has to quit toxic and give up his poison as a professional. It is a black comedy about a Croatian mafia killer who accidentally landed in Iceland, the most peaceful and feminist society in the world, disguised as a priest and an American evangelical preacher.
