A woman swims in a remote, milky-blue lagoon. Steam rises from the water and as it clears, a body is revealed in the ghostly light. Miles away, a vast aircraft hangar rises behind the perimeter fence of the US military base. A sickening thud is heard as a man's body falls from a high platform. <p/>Many years before, a schoolgirl went missing. The world has forgotten her. But Erlendur has not. Erlendur is a newly promoted detective. He is only starting out, but he is already deeply involved in his work. <p/>The writer whose work <i>The New York Times</i> describes as having the sweep and consequence of epic storytelling, has outdone himself in this multi-layered and masterful suspense story.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>Indridason is a master at weaving big-picture commentary into taut, realistic police procedurals, and he scores another victory with this examination of the Cold War's impact in Iceland. --<i>Booklist </i>on <i>Into Oblivion</i> <p/>"Will thrill fans." --<i>Library Journal</i> <p/>"What's Icelandic for 'we have ourselves a winner?" --<i>Newsday</i> <p/>"Puts Iceland on the map as a major destination for enthusiasts of Nordic crime fiction." --<i>Marilyn Stasio, The New York Times Book Review</i> <p/>"Keeps readers guessing until the very last pages." --<i>Washington Post Book World</i> <p/>"Indridason and Stieg Larsson have produced two of the best crime novels of the year." --<i>The Independent (UK)</i> <p/>"Every one of these writers is good [Hakan Nesser, Kjell Eriksson, Karin Fossum], but in my book, Arnaldur Indridason is even better." --<i>Joe Queenan, Los Angeles Times</i> <p/>"Another haunting mystery from the Gold Dagger Award winner, whose work transcends genre." --<i>Kirkus Reviews on Hypothermia</i> <p/>"Fans of old-school sleuthing and new-school crime thrillers alike will relish this terrific read with its modern heroine but old-fashioned, meticulous approach." --<i>Library Journal on Outrage</i></p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>ARNALDUR INDRIDASON (ARD nal dur IN drith uh sson) won the CWA Gold Dagger Award for <i>Silence of the Grave</i> and is the only author to win the Glass Key Award for Best Nordic Crime Novel two years in a row, for <i>Jar City</i> and <i>Silence of the Grave</i>. <i>Strange Shores</i> was nominated for the 2014 CWA Gold Dagger Award, and the books in this series have been nominated for numerous writing awards all over the world in other languages.
