"Slowly but surely gathers powerful, page-turning momentum. This installment stands on its own, but it's all the more impressive for giving new insight into Erlendur." --Publishers Weekly (starred) on Reykjavik Nights
"Indridason's prequel unfolds with the same precision, economically depicted characters and authenticity as his Inspector Erlendur novels, but a livelier energy replaces the middle-aged Erlendur's noir melancholy." --Kirkus Reviews
"Indridason has crafted a stellar prequel to his popular series, offering both insight into Erlendur's gloom and a glimpse of what he was like before the cloud settled in fully." --Booklist
"Will thrill fans." --Library Journal
"What's Icelandic for 'we have ourselves a winner?" --Newsday
"Puts Iceland on the map as a major destination for enthusiasts of Nordic crime fiction." --Marilyn Stasio, The New York Times Book Review
"Keeps readers guessing until the very last pages." --Washington Post Book World
"Like his protagonist, Indridason is calm, methodical and unassuming. With Reykjavik's nights as a backdrop, what starts out as a modest tale of an unfortunate death develops into a deeply involving tale of chronic neglect, drug addiction, spousal abuse and the unsavory nature of fate." --Chicago Tribune, Crime Fiction Roundup on Reykjavik Nights
"Indridason and Stieg Larsson have produced two of the best crime novels of the year." --The Independent (UK)
"Every one of these writers is good [Hakan Nesser, Kjell Eriksson, Karin Fossum], but in my book, Arnaldur Indridason is even better." --Joe Queenan, Los Angeles Times
In Reykjavik Nights, a stunning prequel to his critically acclaimed Inspector Erlendur series, Arnaldur Indriðason gives his devoted fans a real shock.
Erlendur is a young officer assigned to traffic duties. He is not yet a detective. He works nights. Reykjavík’s nights are full of car crashes, robberies, fights, drinking, and sometimes an unexplained death.
One night a homeless man Erlendur knows is found drowned. Then a young woman on her way home from a club vanishes and both cases go cold.
But Erlendur’s instincts tell him that the fates of these two victims are worth pursuing. He is inexorably drawn into a world where everyone is either in the dark or on the run.
