Inspector Erlendur Returns In this Award-winning International Bestseller.The Christmas rush is at its peak in a grand Reykjavik hotel when Inspector Erlendur is called in to investigate a murder. The hotel Santa has been stabbed to death, and Erlendur and his fellow detectives find no shortage of suspects between the hotel staff and the international travelers staying for the holidays. As Christmas Day approaches, Erlendur must deal with his difficult daughter, pursue a possible romantic interest, and untangle a long-buried web of malice and greed to find the murderer. Voices is a brutal, soulful noir from the chilly shores of Iceland. Review “Mesmerizing . . . [An] enthralling narrative.” The Wall Street Journal“Bleakly beautiful.” The New York Times Book Review“Indridason expertly plies the more familiar waters of the classic mystery. . . . He is a wise, compassionate writer, and this is his wisest, most compassionate book.” Star Tribune (Minneapolis)“The enthusiasm generated by Indridasons first two novels starring Reykjavik police inspector Erlendur Sveinsson was reminiscent of the buzz that launched Henning Mankeels Kurt Wallander when he arrived in the United States a decade ago. The third in Indridasons series will add more volume to the word of mouth. . . . A grim but compelling look at how the stranglehold of the past cripples our abilitiy to live in the present.” Booklist“An exceptional psychological study.” Library Journal About the Author ARNALDUR INDRIÐASON won the CWA Gold Dagger Award for Silence of the Grave and is the only author to win the Glass Key Award for Best Nordic Crime Novel two years in a row, for Jar City and Silence of the Grave.
