The Draining Lake by Arnaldur Indridason

Inspector Erlendur returns in this international Bestseller

Following an earthquake, the water level of an Icelandic lake suddenly falls, revealing a skeleton. Inspector Erlendur's investigation takes him back to the Cold War era, when bright, left-wing students in Iceland were sent to study in the heavenly state of Communist East Germany. Teeming with spies and informants, though, their heavenly state becomes a nightmare of betrayal and murder. Brilliantly weaving international espionage and a chilling cold case investigation, The Draining Lake is Arnaldur Indridason at his best.

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.
