A deeply compassionate story of old crimes and their
consequences, The Shadow District is the first in a
thrilling new series by internationally bestselling author
Arnaldur Indridason.
THE PAST
In wartime Reykjavik, Iceland, a young woman is found
strangled in 'the shadow district', a rough and dangerous
area of the city. An Icelandic detective and a member of the
American military police are on the trail of a brutal killer.
THE PRESENT
A 90-year-old man is discovered dead on his bed, smothered
with his own pillow. Konrad, a former detective now bored
with retirement, finds newspaper cuttings reporting the WWII
shadow district murder in the dead man’s home. It’s a crime
that Konrad remembers, having grown up in the same neighborhood.
A MISSING LINK
Why, after all this time, would an old crime resurface? Did
the police arrest the wrong man? Will Konrad's link to the
past help him solve the case and finally lay the ghosts of
WWII Reykjavik to rest?
