Arnald Indridason, one of the most famous Icelanders in the world today, takes pride of place among the modern classics of the crime genre. His detective saga about the Reykjavik investigator Erlend is not only a series of fascinating mysteries, but also an “observation deck” from which a very unexpected view of the past and present of Iceland opens. “The Voice” is the third novel in the series. In an expensive hotel, a maid discovers a murdered doorman in an extremely humiliating position, even for a corpse. It turns out that in childhood the deceased was an exceptionally talented choir member, but his singing career ended early and irrevocably. And Erlend knows from his own bitter experience that the roots of an absurd fate usually go back to the past. The search for the right answers guides him along a winding path, which, paradoxically, turns out to be important not only for the case, but also for himself.
