A missing woman. A missing boy. Detective Erlendur returns – for the last time

A missing woman. A missing boy. Detective Erlendur returns - for the last time

A young woman walks into the frozen fjords of Iceland, never to be seen again. But Matthildur leaves in her wake rumours of lies, betrayal and revenge.

Decades later, somewhere in the same wilderness, Detective Erlendur is on the hunt. He is looking for Matthildur but also for a long-lost brother, whose disappearance in a snow-storm when they were children has coloured his entire life. He is looking for answers.

Slowly, the past begins to surrender its secrets. But as Erlendur uncovers a story about the limits of human endurance, he realises that many people would prefer their crimes to stay buried.

Praise for Strange Shores

Black Skies is one of, if not the best, of Indridason's books

Michael Carlson, Crime Time

An international literary phenomenon - and it's easy to see why. His novels are gripping, authentic, haunting and lyrical

Harlan Coben

Arnaldur Indridason is one of the greats of modern crime fiction… Tragic and compelling

Joan Smith, Sunday Times

Be warned: if you’ve ever spent time with this marvelous Scandi crime character, you’ll be hard pressed to hold back a tear

Siobhan Murphy, Metro

Essential Scandi-fiction

Sunday Express

Indridason is perhaps the best crime writer alive... Masterful as ever

Sydney Sun Herald

The novel is gripping. Erlendur is arguably Nordic fiction’s unhappiest and loneliest but most intriguing detective… It’s a sad disturbing book, chilling both in its setting and in the depths of human angst is explores

Marcel Berlins, The Times

This final chapter in the Erlendur series stalks the human heart unremittingly

Kerry Fowler, Sainsbury's Magazine
