“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 Reykjavík police inspector Erlendur Sveinsson was reminiscent of the buzz that launched Henning Mankeel's Kurt Wallander when he arrived in the United States a decade ago. The third in Indridason's series will add more volume to the word of mouth. . . . A grim but compelling look at how the stranglehold of the past cripples our abilitiy to live in the present.” —Booklist

“An exceptional psychological study.” —Library Journal
