Arnaldur Indridason in ConversationOctober 2, 2006 at 7–8 p.m.

Icelandic crime fiction author Arnaldur Indridason will discuss his work, including two mysteries recently published in English translation, Jar City and Silence of the Grave. In Jar City a long-ago rape may be the motive for a murder, and the massive DNA database of all of Iceland's citizens may provide the clue - but does such information come at a cost? Silence of the Grave is a wonderfully layered exploration of the long-lasting effects of domestic violence. Join us for an engrossing conversation about crime fiction with an Icelandic accent.
