Voice: Arnald Indridason

Arnald Indridason, one of the most famous Icelanders in the world today, occupies an honorable place among the modern classics of the criminal genre. His detective saga about the Reykjavik investigator Erlend is not only a series of exciting riddles, but also a “observation deck”, which opens up a very unexpected view of the past and present of Iceland.
“Voice” is the third novel of the series. In an expensive hotel, the maid discovers a murdered Swiss in an extremely humiliating, even for a corpse. It turns out that in childhood the deceased was an exceptionally talented chorist, but his singing career broke out early and irrevocably. And Herland knows from his own bitter experience that the roots of ridiculous fate usually go into the past. The search for the necessary answers direct him along the winding path, which in a paradoxically is important not only for business, but also for himself.
