Outrage (2008)

Erlendur #9 In a flat near the city centre, a young man lies dead in a pool of blood although there are no signs of a break-in or any struggle. A purple woman’s shawl, found under the bed, gives off a strong and unusual aroma. A vial of narcotics found in the victim’s pocket among other clues soon lead Erlendur’s colleagues down a trail of hidden violence and psychological brutality. And of wrongs that will never be fully righted. • Nominated for the Swedish Martin Beck Award 2010 • Selected by Aftonbladet as one of the three best cime novels of 2010 in Sweden • Shortlisted for the Barry Award 2012, as one of the six best crime novels published in the UK in 2011
