The Living. Erlendur has recently joined the
police force as a young officer and immediately
sinks into the darkness of Reykjavik's
underworld. Working nights, he discovers the
city is full of car crashes, robberies, drinkers
and fighters. And sometimes an unexplained
death. The Lost. 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. The Searcher. 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? In The Heart Of The Night.
Inexorably, he is drawn into the blackness of
the city's underbelly, where everyone is in the
dark or on the run. "One of the most
accomplished series of detective novels in
modern crime fiction." (Sunday Times). "An
international literary phenomenon - and it's
easy to see why. His novels are gripping,
authentic, haunting and lyrical." (Harlan Coben).
