Inspector Erlendur returns for another brooding, intense case in this CWA Duncan-Lawrie Dagger Award-winning series

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 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.

"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 Indridason's first two novels starring Reykjavik police inspector Erlendur Sveninsson was reminiscent of the buzz that launched Henning Mankell's Kurt Wallander.... The third in Indridason's series will add more volume to the word of mouth." --Booklist

ARNALDUR INDRIDASON won the Duncan Lawrie Dagger Award for Silence of the Grave, and the Glass Key Award for Best Nordic Crime Novel for both Jar City and Silence of the Grave. He lives in Reykjavik.
