INSPECTOR ERLENDUR RETURNS IN THIS ICY, INTENSE REYKJAVIK THRILLER On an icy January day, the Reykjavik police are called to a block of apartments where a body has been found in the garden: a young, dark-skinned boy is frozen to the ground in a pool of blood. Erlendur and his team embark on their investigation and soon unearth tensions simmering beneath the surface of Iceland’s outwardly liberal, multicultural society. Meanwhile, the boy’s murder forces Erlendur to confront the tragedy in his own past. Master crime writer Arnaldur Indriđason’s Arctic Chill renders a vivid portrait of Iceland’s brutal, little-known culture wars in a taut, fast-paced police procedural. “Arctic Chill is most reminiscent of Henning Mankell’s Kurt Wallander series.”—Jessica Moyer, Booklist
