FROM THE PUBLISHER - A deeply compassionate story of old crimes and their consequences, The Shadow District is the first in a thrilling new series by internationally bestselling author Arnaldur Indridason. THE PAST: In wartime Reykjavik, Iceland, a young woman is found strangled in 'the shadow district', a rough and dangerous area of the city. An Icelandic detective and a member of the American military police are on the trail of a brutal killer. THE PRESENT: A 90-year-old man is discovered dead on his bed, smothered with his own pillow. Konrad, a former detective now bored with retirement, finds newspaper cuttings reporting the WWII shadow district murder in the dead man’s home. It’s a crime that Konrad remembers, having grown up in the same neighborhood. A MISSING LINK: Why, after all this time, would an old crime resurface? Did the police arrest the wrong man? Will Konrad's link to the past help him solve the case and finally lay the ghosts of WWII Reykjavik to rest?. inventory #43374 ISBN: 9781250124029., 0, New York: Van Nostrand Reinhold Co., 1977.

Charles Henry Whiting (18 December 1926 - 24 July 2007[1]), was a British writer and military historian and with some 350 books of fiction and non-fiction to his credit, under his own name and a variety of pseudonyms including Duncan Harding, Ian Harding, John Kerrigan, Leo Kessler, Klaus Konrad, K.N. Kostov, and Duncan Stirling. He completed his first novel The Frat Wagon (1954) while still an undergraduate at Leeds; it was published by Jonathan Cape in 1954. In 1967, he began writing non-fiction books for the New York publisher Ian Ballantine. Whiting continued this work even when producing novels. From 1976, he was a full-time author and would average some six novels a year for the rest of his life. He was also a prolific and popular military historian, who developed a niche market for writing about the Second World War from the point of view of the experiences of regular soldiers rather than the military strategists and generals. Derived from a Kirkus review: An account of the encirclement of the newly arrived 106th Infantry Division at the Battle of the Bulge in December 1944--focusing, like Whiting's Massacre at Malmedy and Decision at St. Vith, on one small but important aspect of the Ardennes campaign. The 106th Division was perched on a dangerous salient in the Schnee Eifel. The successful German surprise attack quickly caved in their flanks and reduced the bulk of the division to a desperate pocket, without air support or supply because of the poor weather. Since the American commander, Major-General Alan Jones, was expecting quick armor reinforcements to extricate his troops, the order to break out was delayed until it was too late. Whiting successfully conveys the chaos of the fighting., Stein and Day, 1986, 3, Crane, Russak & Company, Inc, 1980-01-01. Hardcover.
