Summary

On a cold night in Reykjavik, a man lies dead, his throat cut, a bottle of Rohypnol nearby. Author Arnaldur Indridason has been crime writing’s best-kept secret – until now.

Reykjavik, Saturday night. He offered her another margarita, and, as he returned from the bar, he carefully slid the pill into her glass. They were getting along fine, and he was sure she would give him no trouble.

Critics Review

Arnaldur Indridason’s new novel, Outrage , is further evidence that he’s one of the most brilliant crime writers of his generation

Arnaldur Indridason’s new novel, Outrage, is further evidence that he’s one of the most brilliant crime writers of his generation * Sunday Times *
Such stately, well-mannered entertainment is not to be sniffed at * Scotsman *
That rugged Icelandic glacier, Detective Erlendur, is away from Reykjavik and a disturbing case is handled by his female sidekick, Elinborg. The female perspective crates a different kind of novel from those built around Arnaldur Indridason’s withdrawn and isolated loner. Here we have a detective worrying about her family while handling with sensitivity the victims of a serial rapist * Independent *
Indridason is one of the best of the new European authors coming into English, right up there with Henning Mankell and Karen Fossum – Margaret Cannon * The Globe and Mail *
Inspector Erlendur is one of the most compassionate detectives to come this way in a long time * New York Times *
Indridason is a master of atmosphere. * The Vancouver Sun *
Indridason has definitely vaulted onto the A-list of Scandinavian crime authors. * Booklist *
This series places Indridason at the centre of the best of contemporary crime fiction. He is a master storyteller, and has a real gift for evoking the complex humanity at the heart of the most dour-seeming individuals. * The Guardian *
