    Jar City is a section of Reykjavik where housing was built on former swamp ground. In one of the district’s houses a dead man is found on the ground floor of his house. He was a retired truck driver. His home is neat and clean, but there hangs a strange smell, prompting intensive police investigation in all directions, because murder is rare in Iceland with its 320.000+ citizens.
    This novel is situated in 2001. Read earlier AIs searing prequel to the Erlendur series from 2012 about the famous 1972 Spassky-Fischer chess duel for the world title, which was staged in Reykjavik. In that book, which has to date not appeared in English translation, Erlendur makes his first appearance as a young uniformed cop in the very last sentence of the book. Now I read about him for the second time. He is 50 now and has been divorced for two decades. His two grown up children are not doing well. He himself fits perfectly in the tradition of Martin Beck, Kurt Wallander and other gloomy Nordic crime fighters: he smokes too much, eats badly, sits most of his waking hours and appears to have heart trouble already.
    As in the prequel, AI develops more than his illustrious examples multiple story lines. In addition to the murder case, he starts a line of inquiry on Erlendur’s addicted daughter and another in what makes Iceland unique: a genetically almost homogeneous population whose genealogies and (hereditary)disease patterns have been perfectly researched, documented and securely stored. Or are they really?
    Lots of cliffhangers pushed this reader on and on. Thrilling finish.
