Jar City

The thrilling first installation of the Reykjavic Murder Mystery Series

An old man is found murdered in his Reykjavik flat.

A cryptic note and a photograph of a young girl's grave are left behind.

DID THE DEAD MAN'S PAST COME BACK TO HAUNT HIM?

Inspector Erlendur discovers that several decades ago the victim was accused, but not convicted, of an unsolved crime.

The dead don’t talk - unless you know how to listen.

In Reykjavík, an old man is found murdered with a cryptic note left on his body. Detective Erlendur begins unravelling a decades-old case that never closed. As he follows a fascinating trail of strange forensic evidence, Erlendur uncovers secrets that are much larger than the murder of one man - dark secrets that have been carefully guarded for many, many years.
