"[A] remarkable series."--The New York Times Book Review
"Indridason keeps readers guessing . . . until the very last pages of this moody investigation."--The Washington Post Book World
"The missing-persons theme and the exploration of Icelandic history and society remain the trademarks of this outstanding series; this time the addition of international espionage will remind readers of Henning Mankell in The White Lioness and The Dogs of Riga."--Booklist
"This is exceptional fiction that transcends its genre."--Library Journal
"An undiluted pleasure . . . This series places Indridason at the center 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 (UK)
"A book as subtle and moving as it is suspenseful."--The Wall Street Journal
