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.

Early Reviewers will also get a copy of the first two books in the Erlendur series. Gold Dagger Award-winning author Arnaldur Indridason brings us back to the wintry underworld of Iceland in this new Reykjavik thriller featuring Inspector Erlendur. This time the victim is Santa Claus, found murdered in the basement of a classy hotel with his pants around his angkles. Erlendur finds himself strangely drawn into the victim’s sad life, and, without knowing why, books a room at the hotel where he was murdered and finds himself haunted by the voices from his own past that threaten to bring his own secrets to life. Like the Nordic mysteries of Henning Mankel, the series provide classic noir from a chilly place.
