Arctic Chill by Arnaldur Indridason

INSPECTOR ERLENDUR RETURNS IN THIS ICY, INTENSE REYKJAVIK THRILLER

On an icy January day, the Reykjavik police are called to a block of apartments where a body has been found in the garden: a young, dark-skinned boy is frozen to the ground in a pool of blood. Erlendur and his team embark on their investigation and soon unearth tensions simmering beneath the surface of Iceland's outwardly liberal, multicultural society. Meanwhile, the boy's murder forces Erlendur to confront the tragedy in his own past.

Master crime writer Arnaldur Indridason's Arctic Chill renders a vivid portrait of Iceland's brutal, little-known culture wars in a taut, fast-paced police procedural.

Silence of the Grave earned ARNALDUR INDRIDASON the CWA Gold Dagger Award, and he is the only author to receive the Glass Key Award for Best Nordic Crime Novel two years in a row. Jar City was Iceland's Oscar entry for Best Foreign Feature, and a sequel, Silence of the Grave, is currently under production with the same filmmaker. Contraband was based on an Icelandic film written by Indridason, who lives in Reykjavik, Iceland, and starred Mark Wahlberg.
