Used book – Stone of Remorse, Arnaldur Indridason

"The more time passes, the more Indridason seems to capture the rhythm of a Simenon from the cold." LE FIGARO MAGAZINE An old woman is murdered in her home. On her desk, Konrad's phone number, a former police officer, is discovered. She had recently contacted him, begging him to find the child she had abandoned at birth fifty years earlier. Overwhelmed with remorse for having refused her help, Konrad sets out to right his wrong. As he investigates, the extent of an unsuspected tragedy gradually unfolds...

Arnaldur Indridason, born in Reykjavík in 1961, is undoubtedly the master of Icelandic crime fiction. Konrad, a steadfast, sensitive, and stubborn investigator, is the hero of a new series, of which "La pierre du remords" (The Stone of Remorse) is the third installment. All of the author's books are available from Points.
