  • "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. Teeming 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 Indriðason at his best."

  • "Detective and mystery stories. In the wake of an earthquake, the water level of an Icelandic lake drops suddenly, revealing the skeleton of a man half-buried in its sandy bed. It is clear immediately that it has been there for many years. There is a large hole in the skull. Yet more mysteriously, a heavy communication device is attached to it, possibly some sort of radio transmitter, bearing inscriptions in Russian. The police are called in and Erlendur, Elinborg and Sigurdur Oli begin their investigation, which gradually leads them back to the time of the Cold War when bright, left-wing students would be sent from Iceland to study in the h̀eavenly state' of Communist East Germany. The Draining Lake is another remarkable Indridason mystery about passions and shattered dreams, the fate of the missing and the grief of those left behind."

  • "Dieser Fall schien eine Dimension zu haben, die alles überstieg, womit sie bisher konfrontiert worden waren. Er war brutal aber alle Morde waren brutal. Wichtiger war, dass dieser Mord vorsätzlich geplant und so professionell ausgeführt worden war, dass er all diese Jahre verborgen bleiben konnte. Morde in Island waren normalerweise zufälliger, plumper und schlampiger. Erlendur, Elínborg und Sigurur Ali wissen nicht einmal, wer der Ermordete ist. Er ist vor Jahrzehnten im Kleifarvatn, einem See südlich von Reykjavík, versenkt worden. Es gibt keinerlei Hinweise auf seine Identität nur ein russisches Sendegerät, an das der Tote gekettet ist. Die Spur führt in die Botschaften der früheren Ostblockstaaten. Gibt es eine Vermisstenmeldung aus jener Zeit, die damit in Zusammenhang stehen könnte? Alles scheint im Leipzig der Nachkriegsjahre seinen Anfang genommen zu haben. Kommissar Erlendur und seine Kollegen sehen sich mit einem Fall konfrontiert, dessen Fäden in die Zeit des Kalten Krieges zurückreichen."
  • "A la suite des tremblements de terre qui ont eu lieu en Islande en juin 2000, le lac de Kleifarvatn se vide peu à peu. Une géologue chargée de mesurer le niveau de l'eau découvre sur le fond asséché un squelette lesté par un émetteur radio portant des inscriptions en caractères cyrilliques à demi effacés. Erlendur et son équipe se voient chargés de l'enquête."
  • "When the water level of an Icelandic lake suddenly falls following an earthquake to reveal a skeleton half-buried in its sandy bed, Inspector Erlendur, Elinborg, and Sigurdur Oli look into the long-unsolved disappearance of a young, left-wing student during the Cold War."
  • "In einem See südlich von Reykjavík wird ein Toter entdeckt. Der Wasserspiegel hatte sich nach einem Erdbeben drastisch gesenkt und ein menschliches Skelett sichtbar werden lassen, das an ein russisches Sendegerät angekettet ist. Ein natürlicher Tod ist ausgeschlossen. Hat man sich hier eines Spions entledigt? Erlendur, Elínborg und Sigurður Óli von der Kripo Reykjavík werden mit der Lösung des Falls beauftragt. Ihre Nachforschungen führen sie in das Leipzig der Nachkriegsjahre, wo eine tragische Geschichte um Liebe, Verlust und berechnender Grausamkeit ihren Anfang nahm ... Kommissar Erlendur Sveinsson ermittelt in seinem sechsten Fall."
