The Inspector Erlendur Series is a popular murder mystery series featuring Reykjavik detective Erlendur Sveinsson.[1] Written by Icelandic author Arnaldur Indriðason, the series is published in the U.S. by Minotaur Press and consists of more than a dozen novels.[2] Mýrin (Jar City), the third book in the series, was the first to be translated into English. Mýrin was also adapted as a 2006 film entitled Jar City, starring Ingvar Eggert Sigurðsson as Erlendur.[3]
