Sinossi
Tutto comincia con il ritrovamento del cadavere di un presunto stupratore, con l'indagine sul suo passato e sui motivi che molte, troppe persone, avrebbero avuto per odiarlo: ma ben presto i contorni della vicenda si fanno assai più ampi e inquietanti e per il commissario Erlendur, solitario cinquantenne divorziato, alle prese con due figli invischiati in problemi di droga e alcol, l'indagine si rivela una vera e propria azione di scavo, alla ricerca di quello che si nasconde sotto una città apparentemente tranquilla come la sua Reykjavík. In un'atmosfera desolata e malinconica, appena sotto le vie tetre del suo mondo urbano, Erlendur scopre una città diversa e macabra, quasi uno specchio deformato di quella vissuta da tutti: la "città dei barattoli".

I've taken an interest to Iceland ever since I read Halldór Laxness. Seeing there are a few Icelandic authors in translation - or maybe they are indeed just a few - I wanted to explore this country through the detective novels of Arnaldur Indriðason, as well. Luckily, he gives some interesting insig Leggi tutto
[9/10] "Squalid, pointless and committed without any attempt to hide it, change the clues or conceal the evidence.""Yes," said Erlendur. "A pathetic Icelandic murder." First impressions can be misleading. At first glance the murder of a lonely seventy year old man in his own apartment is just a sord Leggi tutto
