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 Olii 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 remarkable Indridason mystery about passions and shattered dreams  the fate of the missing and the grief of those left behind.
