Description

"Indridason fills the void that remains after you've read Stieg Larsson's novels." —USA Today

Arnaldur Indridason has proven himself to be a master of the mystery genre with his critically acclaimed Inspector Erlunder series, which has sold more than 7 million copies worldwide. Now, in Outrage, this superlative crime writer author has written his best book to date, with exceptional prose, heart pounding suspense, and a mystery that is not solved until the last page.

Haunted by personal demons, Detective Erlunder decides to take a short leave of absence, putting a female detective, Elínborg, in charge while he is gone. When a troubling case lands on Elínborg's desk, she's quickly thrust into a violent and volatile situation with extremely high stakes. Soon, her investigation uncovers a twisted tale of double lives that may be connected to the unsolved disappearance of a young girl. The clock is ticking to solve the case before a serial rapist strikes again.

Reviewers everywhere rave about Indridason's smart and fast-paced Reykjavík thrillers, which exemplify the very best in international crime fiction. Perfect for the many devoted fans of this series as well as for the reader who's never visited Iceland through Indridason's books, Outrage will lead you down a trail of hidden violence, psychological brutality, and wrongs that may never fully be righted.

    First book in the series to focus on Elinborg. I’d love to have more with her as the central character. I found her more interesting and compelling than the dour Erlunder. As usual, great plot, setting and characters.

    I understand that some of Indridason's regular readers miss Erlundur as the main protagonist. But that Indridason can write such a fine story focused on Elinborg shows what a great writer he is.

    Great book, especially for those of us who have read others by the author, however, I was disappointed Erlendur, usually the main character, was absent in this book. Still a great police procedural.
