Outstanding Praise for Arnaldur Indridason

As thrillers go, Operation Napoleon is about the best you can get.
--Telegraph-Journal (UK)

Arnaldur Indridason is already an international literary phenom---and it's easy to see why. His novels are gripping, authentic, haunting and lyrical. I can't wait for the next.

A commanding new voice . . . puts Iceland on the map as a major destination for enthusiasts of Nordic crime fiction.
--Marilyn Stasio, The New York Times Book Review, on Silence of the Grave

*Indridason keeps readers guessing until the very last pages.
--Washington Post Book World on The Draining Lake

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

*Every one of these writers is good [Hakan Nesser, Kjell Eriksson, Ake Edwardson, Helene Tursten, Karin Fossum], but in my book, Arnaldur Indridason is even better.
--Joe Queenen, Los Angeles Times

*## "The market and appetite for [Steig Larsson's books] seems to be unappeasable, as does the demand forthe stories of Arnaldur Indridason."

"Mesmerizing... [An] enthralling narrative."
--The Wall Street Journal on Voices
