About this product

Product Information

From Gold Dagger Award--winning author Arnaldur Indridason comes a Reykjav k thriller introducing Inspector Erlendur When a lonely old man is found dead in his Reykjav k flat, the only clues are a cryptic note left by the killer and a photograph of a young girl's grave. Inspector Erlendur discovers that many years ago the victim was accused, but not convicted, of an unsolved crime, a rape. Did the old man's past come back to haunt him? As Erlendur reopens this very cold case, he follows a trail of unusual forensic evidence, uncovering secrets that are much larger than the murder of one old man. An international sensation, the Inspector Erlendur series has sold more than two million copies worldwide.

Reviews
This is a dark, haunting novel, with a protagonist who searches for a murderer and finds his own humanity. The emotionally wrought ending caught me off guard and touched me in a way that few mystery novels do., An absorbing police procedural dense with psychological pressure. The plot is a twister, the setting unique, and Erlendur's personal life is even bleaker than the Icelandic fall. Erlendur is a cop to watch. And I will., The descriptions of Reykjavík and the surrounding area . . . are fascinating in their own right, and the plotting is riveting. . . . Detective Inspector Erlendur Sveinsson is an intense and introspective protagonist., Indridason raises in a thoroughly gripping manner not just questions of paternity in a small nation, but wider issues of the use of genetic information, culminating in an ending that proves impressively moving., Winner of the Glass Key Award for Best Nordic Crime Novel 2002 "Translated from the Icelandic by Bernard Scudder ""Jar" "City is a haunting and elegant novel, and Arnaldur Indridason is a writer of astonishing gravitas and talent." - John Lescroart, author of "Nothing But the Truth " "Like a long Icelandic night, "Jar City envelopes the reader in a fascinating and mesmerizing locale--and doesn't let go. No wonder Arnaldur Indridason won so many awards. He's a great storyteller, and American readers will overwhelmingly agree." - C. J. Box, Anthony Award-winning author of "Out of Range "Classic mystery fiction, both compassionate and thrilling. Indridason is about to become one of the brightest stars in the genre's dark skies." - John Connolly, author of "Dark Hollow ""Jar City, like a good Ingmar Bergman film, brings us irresistibly into a strangely beautiful world of deep sorrows and dangerous secrets hidden in the past. Indridason's detective is, like his predecessors from Philip Marlowe to Somerset in "Seven, a deeply appealing hero, intense, intelligent, moral, lonely, and very very good at his job." - Michael Malone, author of "Uncivil Seasons "Fascinating . . . an original and puzzling mystery." - Val McDermid, "The Sunday Times (UK) "This is strong stuff, powerfully and arrestingly written. The plot is clever, the writing has a directness and deceptive simplicity reminiscent of Simenon, and Detective Inspector Erlendur is an intriguing character whose personal problems complement rather than distract from his investigation. Here is a new voice that demands to be listened to!" - Reginald Hill, author of "Dialogues of the Dead "Prepare yourself for transportation. To a different planet, though right here on earth. I've had the privilege of visiting Iceland, and Arnauldur Indridason captures the haunting, wondrous rhythm of that unique place in a way that will astonish you even as his plotting intrigues you." - Jeremiah Healy, author of "Turnabout and "The Only Good Lawyer " "An absorbing police procedural dense with psychological pressure, haunted by past secrets. The plot is a twister, the setting unique, and Erlendur's personal life is even bleaker than the Icelandic fall. Erlendur is a cop to watch. And I will." - Marshall Browne, author of "The Eye of the Abyss "An excellent thriller that is absolutely cool and deadly." - Robert Gray, Northshire Bookstore (Manchester Center, VT) "Now Iceland has its own Mankell." - Holger Kreitling, "Die Welt (Germany), "Fan[s] of mystery in general and Henning Mankell and Karin Fossum can only exult." -- Library Journal "This is a dark, haunting novel, with a protagonist who searches for a murderer and finds his own humanity. The emotionally wrought ending caught me off guard and touched me in a way that few mystery novels do." -- The Boston Globe "[Erlendur is] a helluva detective." -- Minneapolis Star-Tribune " Jar City stresses both the otherworldliness of this faraway country and how similar its denizens are to the rest of us. . . . An excellent debut." -- Baltimore Sun "Indridason raises in a thoroughly gripping manner not just questions of paternity in a small nation, but wider issues of the use of genetic information, culminating in an ending that proves impressively moving." -- Time Out London "Award-winning Iceland author Indridason makes a compelling American debut with this first in a series featuring Reykjavík police inspector Erlendur. . . . Quiet, morose, dryly witty, Erlendur makes a fine, complex companion. . . . Those who enjoy Karin Fossum, Henning Mankell, or Janwillem van de Wetering will welcome this new series." -- The Portsmouth Herald "A powerful, psychologically acute procedural drama." -- Booklist " Jar City is classic mystery fiction, both compassionate and thrilling. Indridason is about to become one of the brightest stars in the genre's dark skies." -- John Connolly, author of Dark Hollow "There's much to glean about the people of Iceland from this erudite and compelling story. . . .

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!

  • Great book, great author--Can't put the book down!

    I have only recently discovered Arnaldur Indridason, and I have now read several of his books. Jar City is one of the best. If you are a fan of Henning Mankell, you will probably like Indridason. I have ordered all of his books and look forward to reading them this winter. But they don't last long, because once you start, you can't put them down!
