A lifetime of secrets. A murder that will expose the truth.
'Arnaldur Indridason is a literary phenomenon' HARLAN COBEN

'Indridason writes crime novels that are as chilling as the landscape where they're set' ANN CLEEVES

'The undisputed King of the Icelandic Thriller' GUARDIAN

A woman is found murdered in her Reykjavík home, her apartment ransacked. On her desk lies a note with retired detective Konrad's phone number. Days earlier, she had begged him to find the child she gave up nearly fifty years ago. But Konrad, reluctant to reopen old wounds, turned her away. Now, haunted by guilt, he vows to uncover the truth - for her and for himself.

As Konrad digs into the woman's past, he is drawn into a web of secrets, lies and betrayal. Each revelation points to a hidden life that connects her death to a decades-old murder - and to shadows from Konrad's own family history.

The Quiet Mother is a masterful blend of human tragedy and relentless suspense, where every discovery comes at a cost. Arnaldur Indridason once again proves why he is the voice of Nordic Noir, delivering a harrowing tale of guilt and redemption.
