A tense, atmospheric and disturbing novel from one of Europe's greatest crime writers.

A REYKJAVIK MURDER MYSTERY.

It is a few days before Christmas and a Reykjavik doorman and occasional Santa Claus, Gudlauger, has been found stabbed to death in his hotel room in a sexually compromising position. It soon becomes apparent that both staff and guests have something to hide, but it is the dead man who has the most shocking secret.

Detective Erlendur soon discovers that the placidly affluent appearance of the hotel covers a multitude of sins.

Winner of the Crime Writers' Association Gold Dagger.

Reviews for Voices

With Voices, Indridason proves that his Golden Dagger victory for Silence of the Grave last year was no fluke The Times Once again Indridason demonstrates that the best Scandinavian crime writers can hold their own against their British and American rivals Spectator
