In the wake of an earthquake, the water level of an Icelandic lake
drops suddenly, revealing the skeleton of a man half-buried in its
sandy bed. It is clear immediately that it has been there for many
years. There is a large hole in the skull. Yet more mysteriously, a
heavy communication device is attached to it, possibly some sort of
radio transmitter, bearing inscriptions in Russian.
The police are called in and Erlendur, Elinborg and Sigurdur Oli
begin their investigation, which gradually leads them back to the
time of the Cold War when bright, left-wing students would be sent
from Iceland to study in the "heavenly State" of Communist East
Germany.
The Draining Lake is another masterfully written Indridason mystery
about passions and shattered dreams, the fate of the missing and
the grief of those left behind.
