Inspector Erlendur by Arnaldur Indridason

Inspector Erlunder is the protagonist in a series of crime fiction novels by Icelandic novelist Arnaldur Indridason. Erlendur Sveinsson is a detective in Reykjavik, Iceland and works alongside Elinborg and Sigurdur Oli. The novels do not always feature Erlendur, and a couple of them are centered around one of the other two characters. The series is also known as the Reykjavik Murder Mysteries.

Arnaldur Indridason began his Inspector Erlunder series in 1997 with the novel Synir duftsins (Sons of Dust), which has yet to be published in English. The first novel to be published in English was Jar City, which was published in Icelandic in 2000 and English in 2004. That novel would be adapted to film by Baltasar Kormakur in 2006. The series is currently ongoing, with a new novel being published annually. Below is a list of Arnaldur Indridason’s Inspector Erlunder books in order of when they were first published (in their English language editions):
