OK, I'm going to break my usual rule of only nominating one book. First, a Norwegian mystery, The Rat by Jo Nesbø, the first of the Harry Hole mysteries. These are rather dark, with a less than exemplary protagonist, but excellent police procedural mysteries, mostly set outside of Norway. They fit the category in it's most obvious sense, being translated into English.

Together, they discover that this is only the latest in a string of unsolved murders, and the pattern points toward a psychopath working his way across the country. As they circle closer and closer to the killer, Harry begins to fear that no one is safe, least of all those investigating the case.
