Review:
"Rather than using excessive language and unnecessary description, Indrišason chooses a minimal style, which drip-feeds the details and keeps the reader guessing... Operation Napoleon is an intriguing novel, bleak and harsh in its description of cold, military narratives" (Sophie Gordon Aesthetica)
"There are hints of some of Indridason's trademark motifs-emotionally distant parents, brotherhood, the harsh Icelandic wilderness-but it's clear that he is using Operation Napoleon to address what seems to be a deeply controversial factor in Icelandic life: the US military presence at Keflavik" (Euro Crime)
"An international literary phenomenon - and it's easy to see why. His novels are gripping, authentic, haunting and lyrical" (Harlan Coben)
