Riassunto

In a flat near Reykjavķk city centre, a young man lies dead in a pool of blood. There is no sign of a break-in: the only clues are a woman's purple shawl, found under the bed in the next room, and a vial of prescription drugs in the victim“s pocket.

With Detective Erlendur away in a remote part of Iceland, Detective Elķnborg, who is already struggling to juggle family life and the relentless demands of her job, is assigned the case. Her investigation into the murdered man's past soon uncovers a squalid tale of double lives, drug dealers and the unsolved disappearance of a young girl many years before.

From its explosive opening, Outrage leads down a trail of hidden violence, psychological brutality and of wrongs that will never be fully righted.

Recensione:

"Inspector Erlendur is one of the most compassionate detectives to come this way in a long time." (New York Times)

"Indrioason is a master of atmosphere." (The Vancouver Sun)

"Indrioason has definitely vaulted onto the A-list of Scandinavian crime authors." (Booklist)

"This series places Indrioason 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)
