About this listen
Pourquoi l'inspecteur Erlendur use-t-il sa mauvaise humeur à rechercher l'assassin d'un vieil homme dans l'ordinateur duquel on découvre des photos pornographiques immondes et, coincée sous un tiroir, la photo de la tombe d'une enfant de quatre ans ? Pourquoi mettre toute son énergie à trouver qui a tué celui qui s'avère être un violeur ? Pourquoi faire exhumer avec quarante ans de retard le cadavre de cette enfant ? Comment résister à l'odeur des marais qui envahit tout un quartier de Reykjavik ? A quoi sert cette collection de bocaux contenant des organes baptisée pudiquement la Cité des Jarres ? Pourquoi partout dans le monde la vie de flic est toujours une vie de chien mal nourri ? Erlendur le colérique s'obstine à tenter de trouver les réponses à toutes ces questions.
Ce livre audio transmet le douloureux sens de l'inéluctable propre à l'imaginaire islandais. Il reprend leur humour sardonique, l'acceptation froide des faits et de leurs conséquences lointaines.
Paru aux débuts des années 2000, La Cité des Jarres est un des premiers romans d'Arnaldur Indridason et une des premières enquêtes du Commissaire Erlendur. Véritable chef d'œuvre du roman policier, il a fait connaître Indridason dans le monde entier et a obtenu le prestigieux prix Clé de Verre du roman noir scandinave.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 1,950
Lana Fleming’s sister has vanished from the set of TV’s hottest show, and no one seems to care. Desperate for answers, Lana sneaks in as an extra, only to get stranded with Griffin Hart, an A-list action star with a reputation for good abs and bad decisions. Though Griffin didn’t expect to be cast as a librarian’s sidekick in a real-life thriller, he’s weirdly into it—and into her. Even more unsettling—she sees right through his playboy persona. But their meet-cute soon turns deadly when they uncover a Hollywood scandal for the ages.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 1,850
Amy Nicols (Lizzy Caplan) was an FBI agent with a dogged need to protect everyone—until that instinct caused her to mishandle a crisis, lose innocent lives, and lose her job. Now a civilian working in private security, that mistake still haunts her. One morning on the commuter train, she overhears a young couple plotting a murder. Ignoring warnings from her family and friends, Amy’s instinct to protect and serve compels her to investigate. But the further she goes, the more she finds her own life in danger.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 344
Nathan Tyler is an unassuming professor at a middling American university with a rather obscure specialty in mathematics—in short, a nobody from nowhere. So why is the White House calling? Summoned to Washington, DC, for a top-secret briefing, Nathan discovers that he’s the key to a massive foreign intelligence breakthrough. Reading between the lines of a cryptic series of equations, he could open a door straight into the heart of the Kremlin and change the global balance of power forever.

And in a world where love and sex are forbidden, where it’s hard to distinguish between friend and foe, he meets Julia and O’Brien and vows to rebel.

Jazz Bashara is a criminal. Well, sort of. Life on Artemis, the first and only city on the moon, is tough if you're not a rich tourist or an eccentric billionaire. So smuggling in the occasional harmless bit of contraband barely counts, right? Not when you've got debts to pay and your job as a porter barely covers the rent. Everything changes when Jazz sees the chance to commit the perfect crime, with a reward too lucrative to turn down.

After the killing of a prominent mob lawyer, NYPD homicide detectives Jacob Jackson and Caitlin Grimes start receive chilling, written “rules” for how to commit the perfect murder. "Rule number one for the perfect murder: Evidence is your enemy. Leave none behind." Jackson (Reid Scott) and Grimes (Cobie Smulders) race to find the killer, setting them on a collision course with the city’s crime underbelly, and a perpetrator who seems happy to toy with them. “Rule number two. No crimes of passion. The perfect murder is always business, never pleasure.”

Who is Audrey Hoedemaker? It's a question her sister Maureen has heard more times than she can count, and she doesn't know what the short answer would be. Little sister, troubled teen, backpacker, musical theatre coach, con artist, childcare worker. Murderer. A tragic, traumatic childhood casts a long shadow on the Hoedemaker sisters. Maureen has worked hard to move beyond the violence of the past and build a good, honest life for herself. Audrey, however, just can't seem to do the same, careening from one state of chaos to another.
