Description

 Winner of the CWA Gold Dagger Award Inspector Erlendur returns in this gripping Icelandic thriller Whenever a skeleton is found half-buried in a building site beyond Reykjavík, Inspector Erlendur finds herself knee-deep in equally an archeological dig and a crime-scene. Bone by bone, your body is discovered, and the history of the family who lived close to the building site involves light along side it. Was the skeleton a guy or a lady, a target or a monster, and is this an easy case of homicide or an extended-hidden work of justice? As Erlendur attempts to break this cold situation, he should also save his drug addicted child from self-destruction and somehow stick his hopelessly broken family back together. Like the frosty Nordic secrets of Henning Mankell and Betty Fossum, Arnaldur Indridason provides a marked authorities step-by-step saturated in humanity and pathos, a vintage noir from an extremely cold spot.
