Summary
Downtrodden detective Erlendur and his team must once again investigate Reykjavik's hidden past to unravel a case of human nastiness. Alive with tension and atmosphere and disturbingly real, this is an outstanding continuation of the Reykjavik Murder MysteriesBuilding work in an expanding Reykjavik uncovers a shallow grave. Years before, this part of the city was all open hills, and Erlendur and his team hope this is a typical Icelandic missing person scenario; perhaps someone once lost in the snow, who has lain peacefully buried for decades. Things are never that simple. Whilst Erlendur struggles to hold together the crumbling fragments of his own family, his case unearths many other tales of family pain. The hills have more than one tragic story to tell: tales of failed relationships and heartbreak; of anger, domestic violence and fear; of family loyalty and family shame. Few people are still alive who can tell the story, but even secrets taken to the grave cannot remain hidden forever.

"Silence of the Grave"Winner of the CWA Golden Dagger Award
Translated from the Icelandic by Bernard Scudder Praise for Indridason's previous novel featuring Inspector Erlendur Sveinsson, "Jar City"

- John Connolly, author of "Dark Hollow" "A great crime novel . . . excellent."
- "The ""Baltimore"" Sun" "Riveting. Look for Indridason to appear on critics' shortlists for best new author, best mystery novel, and so forth."
- "BookPage" "Fans of mystery in general and Henning Mankell and Karin Fossum can only exult."
- "Library Journal" (starred review)"No wonder Arnaldur Indridason won so many awards. He's a great storyteller, and American readers will overwhelmingly agree."
- C. J. Box, Anthony Award-winning author of "Out of Range"" "
"Reminiscent of Simenon."- Reginald Hill, author of "Dialogues of the Dead"
"Gripping. . . . There is a Ross Macdonald element to all this . . . recalls Madeleine Nabb and Donna Leon."- "Booklist"
