EspañolARNALDUR INDRIðASON
'Arnaldur Indriðason' (born 28 January 1961) is an Icelandic writer of crime fiction. He has repeatedly proved to be the most popular writer in Iceland in recent years - topping bestseller lists year after year. In the year 2004 his books were seven of the ten most popular titles borrowed in Reykjavík City Library.
Arnaldur published his first book, ''Synir duftsins'' ('Sons of Dust') in 1997 and many believe that that publication marked the start of a new wave of Icelandic crime fiction. He has been praised by American crime writer Harlan Coben: 'The best new series I've read this year comes from Iceland. Arnaldur Indridason is already an international literary phenom -- and it's easy to see why. His novels are gripping, authentic, haunting and lyrical. I can't wait for the next.'
Arnaldur's books have been published in 26 countries and have been translated into German, Danish, English, Italian, Czech, Swedish, Norwegian, Dutch, Finnish and French. Indriðason received the Glass Key, a literature prize for the best nordic crime novel, in both 2002 and 2003. He won the CWA Gold Dagger Award in 2005 for the novel ''Silence of the Grave''.
Arnaldur Indriðason lives in Reykjavík with his wife and three children.
