The backdrop for the events was the 2008 Icelandic financial crisis, with var rn rewriting parts of the novel just before publication to respond to the unfolding political situation in Iceland.Jakob, 'Hommahatari reyndi a drepa Hr Torfason', Frttablai, 287 [year 8] (20 October 2008), p. 38. http://timarit.is/view_page_init.jsp?issId=278444&pageId=4009038&lang=is&q=kreppub%F3k. It won the Bldropinn award and was thus nominated for the Glass Key Award. Published in Reykjavik by Uppheimar, 2008, . It is the author's fifth crime novel with the same characters, and received positive reviews. In the assessment of Katrn Jakobsdttir;
The community divide suits var well and he is on great form in this book, creating a nice plot around the murdered Pole and the financier ('trsarvkingur'), and clearly enjoys putting words into the mouths of his characters when he constructs dialogues about the situation. 'Land of Opportunities' thus testifies well to what good effects he has achieved in the form, and at the same time he has distinguished himself with a sharp social commentary and well established subject matter.'Samflagsdeila ltur vari vel og hann er miklu stui essari bk, skapar gta flttu kringum myrta Plverjann og trsarvkinginn, og skemmtir sr greinilega vel vi a leggja persnum snum or munn egar hann smar samtl um standi.
