Who is your favorite author?

My favourite author is a crime novelist named Arnaldur Indridason. Two of his books have been published in the US and many of his books have been published in different languages all over the world. He has received many impressive awards for his writing and on of his novels is rated as one of the 10 best cime novels published in the USA this year. The English titles for those books are Silence of the Grave and Jar City. More books will be published in English soon. I have read all his books in Icelandic and love each and every one. The same caracter (a detective) is in all of them and he has become a legend in Iceland. The first movie from his books was just opened a few weeks ago and I can't wait to see it. For those of you who watched Eurovision and saw the Icelandic tribute in the pre-finals might find it interesting to know that Silvia Night plays one of the leading roles in the film.
