'One of my favourite writers' Ann Cleeves

A lifetime of secrets. A call for help? A murder that will expose the truth.

A woman is found murdered in her home. On her desk is a note with a phone number and a name: Detective Konrad.

Called in to investigate, Konrad realises he met the woman shortly before her death when she asked him for help locating the child she'd given up for adoption fifty years earlier. Distressed at having declined her request, Konrad vows to make up for it. Could her murder and the search for her missing child be linked?

'Arnaldur Indridason is indeed an expert storyteller. . . The Quiet Mother is yet another feather in the author's cap . . . a work of genius' Steinthor Gudbjartsson, Iceland Monitor Daily
