Reykjavik Nights: 10 (Inspector Erlendur) - Softcover

"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
