Having worked for many years as a journalist and film critic for the Icelandic newspaper Morgunbladid, Arnaldur began writing novels aged thirty four. The son of the prominent Icelandic novelist Indridi Thorsteinsson, he hid his writing at first from his father. By the summer of 2003, his crime novels occupied the top five spots in the Icelandic bestseller list and the following year his books made up seven of the ten most borrowed from the Reykjavik library.
