Now the associate is arrested again and Konrad, the retired policeman who originally investigated the disappearance, is called back to reopen the case that has weighed on his mind for decades. When a woman approaches him with new information that she obtained from her deceased brother, progress can finally be made in solving this long-cold case. In The Darkness Knows, the master of Icelandic crime writing reunites readers with Konrad, the unforgettable retired detective from The Shadow District.

The Shadow District

Jar city

Bokserie: Erlendur Sveinsson (del 8) Arnaldur Indridason har länge varit Islands populäraste författare och hans böcker har nu utkommit i över trettio länder, tagit sig in på bestsellerlistor i många av dem och sålt i miljontals exemplar. En kvinna som anklagas för utpressning misshandlas till döds. Detta sker framför ögonen på polisen. Trots det lyckas förövaren komma undan. Allt pekar på att han är en indrivare som anlitats av en respekterad och aktad medborgare. Samtidigt försöker en ökänd kriminell få kontakt med polisen. Med mycket dunkla avsikter. Liksom i Mörka strömmar befinner sig Erlendur på resa, sökande efter klarhet i sin brors försvinnande. Huvudpersonen är denna gång Sigurdur Óli, som vi känner från de tidigare böckerna. Förutom den spännande och täta mordhistorien får vi också en kritisk inblick i det korrupta bankväsendet både på Island och i andra länder innan den stora bankkraschen ägde rum 2008.

La cité des Jarres

Erlendur works nights. He's a young officer in Traffic, not yet a detective. And Reykjavik's nights are full of car crashes, robberies, drinkers and fighters. Sometimes an unexplained death. A homeless man Erlendur knows is found drowned. But few people care. Or when a young woman on her way home from a club vanishes. Both cases go cold. Two lost people from two different worlds. Erlendur is not an investigator, but his instincts tell him their fates are worth pursuing. How could they be linked? Inexorably, he is drawn into the blackness of the city's underbelly, where everyone is in the dark or on the run.
