Description

Detective Erlendur encounters memories of his troubled past in this award-winning continuation of the ReykjavÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂík Murder Mysteries.

In a grand ReykjavÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂík hotel, the doorman has been stabbed in the dingy basement room he called home. The manager tries to keep the murder under wraps.A somewhat glum detective taking up residence in his hotel and the intrusion of a murder investigation are not what he had in mind. Malice, greed, and shades of corruption reveal themselves as Erlendur quietly surveys the cast of grotesques who populate the hotel.But most shocking is the childhood secret of the dead man: a brush with stardom which ultimately cost him everything.

-"Irish Times"
"Morosely, intelligently, Erlendur unravels the mystery. With Voices Indridason proves that his Golden Dagger victory for Silence of the Grave last year was no fluke."
-"The Times"

"From the Paperback edition."
