Synopsis

Inspector Erlendur returns in this CWA Duncan-Lawrie Dagger Award-winning series, which has sold over five million copies worldwide


Following an earthquake, the water level of an Icelandic lake suddenly falls, revealing a skeleton. Inspector Erlendur's investigation takes him back to the Cold War era, when bright, left-wing students in Iceland were sent to study in the 'heavenly state' of Communist East Germany. Teaming with spies and informants, though, their 'heavenly state' becomes a nightmare of betrayal and murder. Brilliantly weaving international espionage and a chilling cold case investigation, The Draining Lake is Arnaldur Indridason at his best.
