In this stunning prequel to his critically acclaimed
Inspector Erlendur series, Arnaldur Indridason gives
devoted
fans a glimpse of Erlendur as a young, budding detective.
The beat on the streets in Reykjavik is busy: traffic
accidents, theft, domestic violence, contraband … And an
unexplained death.
When a tramp he met regularly on the night shift is found
drowned in a ditch, no one seems to care. But his fate
haunts Erlendur and drags him inexorably into the strange
and dark underworld of the city.
The writer whose work The New York Times describes as
"having the sweep and consequence of epic story telling"
has
outdone himself in this multi-layered and masterful
suspense
story. His latest book in the series, Strange Shores, was
nominated for the 2014 Crime Writers of America Gold
Dagger
Award.
