Jar City *Signed 1st US* by Indridason, Arnaldur - 2005-10-01

NY: St. Martin, 2005-10-01. 1st Edition. Hardcover. As New/As New. Signed. Flawless SIGNED copy of author's first novel. Welcome to Reykjavik, where murder is usually squalid, pointless and obvious – but not this time. Detective Inspector Erlendur is called to a small, neat apartment where an elderly man lies dead, apparently murdered. As the investigation reaches into the victim’s past, a disturbing pattern of intertwined damage, violence and death is revealed. Dark, moody and intense, this is a uniquely Icelandic mystery; the crime at its core is possible only in a small and isolated place. Winner of the Glass Key Award for Best Nordic Crime Novel and the author’s first novel to be translated into English, Jar City is a stunning debut and a police procedural that transcends the genre.
