Outrage

Reykjavik, Saturday night

He offered her another margarita, and, as he returned from the bar, he carefully slid the pill into her glass. They were getting along fine, and he was sure she would give him no trouble...

48 hours later

A young man is found dead in a pool of blood. There is no sign of a break-in at his flat. The victim is found wearing a woman's t-shirt, while a bottle of Rohypnol lies on the table nearby.

Detective Elinborg, already struggling to juggle family life and the relentless demands of her job, is assigned the case. But with no immediate leads to the killer, can she piece together details of the victim's secret life and solve a brutal murder?

Reviews

Arnaldur Indridason's new novel, Outrage, is further evidence that he's one of the most brilliant crime writers of his generation

—— Sunday Times

Such stately, well-mannered entertainment is not to be sniffed at

—— Scotsman

That rugged Icelandic glacier, Detective Erlendur, is away from Reykjavik and a disturbing case is handled by his female sidekick, Elinborg. The female perspective crates a different kind of novel from those built around Arnaldur Indridason's withdrawn and isolated loner. Here we have a detective worrying about her family while handling with sensitivity the victims of a serial rapist

—— Independent

Indridason is one of the best of the new European authors coming into English, right up there with Henning Mankell and Karen Fossum

—— Margaret Cannon , The Globe and Mail

Inspector Erlendur is one of the most compassionate detectives to come this way in a long time

—— New York Times

Indridason is a master of atmosphere.

—— The Vancouver Sun

Indridason has definitely vaulted onto the A-list of Scandinavian crime authors.

—— Booklist

This series places Indridason 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

[I] enjoyed it so much I can thoroughly recommend this quite superb tale, and urge all to go out and order a copy today. I can’t wait for the second installment.

—— monstersfromhell.co.uk

This was definitely a brilliant book, that is well worth taking the time to invest in and read.

—— Serendipity Reviews

Tense and full of dramatic twists and turns, I look forward to seeing what is next for the witches in part two which is called Fire

—— MeMyBooksandI

Witches are the new black. This is the first in a best-selling Swedish trilogy and it's one you will not want to miss out on... An epic holiday read, it's got a fantastical, interwoven narrative that is just what you need to take you all the from the airport departure lounge to a shady spot beside the pool.

This book was one of those that I just couldn’t put down, and despite its size I found it to be a really quick read. The characters were all so different and yet still fit together in their own way, and I was truly shocked by some of the events. I loved the fact that the book wasn’t too teenage despite taking place in a high school, as the characters have genuine problems to overcome with each trying to find their own way to cope with their powers. A great read, I’m really looking forward to book two!
