Breaking literary crime news from Europe - A thief in Iceland has broken into a publishing house and pinched the Icelandic translation proof copy of Dan Brown’s The Lost Symbol reports the AP.
“Possibly the burglar gave up on his English copy of the long novel and in his desperation decided to get a copy of the Icelandic translation before anyone else,” said a bloke from the publisher.
If I was to turn to crime (and I’ve been close several times in the past few days), I wouldn’t be stealing an Icelandic proof of a Dan Brown book.
