Detective Konrad

Indridason Arnaldur: The Quiet Mother /
B

The Quiet Mother

'Arnaldur Indridason is a literary phenomenon - and it's easy to see why' 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 lifetime of secrets. A murder that will expose the truth. 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. 'One of the greats of modern crime fiction' Sunday Times 'A work of genius' Steinthor Gudbjartsson, Iceland Monitor Daily 'Comprehensive proof that the crown rests securely on King Arnaldur's head' Financial Times *OVER 20 MILLION BOOKS SOLD WORLDWIDE*

Still looking for his own father's murderer, Konrád agrees to investigate the case. But digging into the past reveals more than he set out to discover, and a strange connection to a little girl who drowned in the Reykjavík city pond decades ago recaptures everyone's attention. A brilliant, chilling tale of broken dreams and children who have nowhere to turn. 'The undisputed king of the Icelandic thriller' Guardian 'An international literary phenomenon - and it's easy to see why. His novels are gripping, authentic, haunting, and lyrical' Harlan Coben

The Darkness Knows

'Arnaldur Indridason is the grand old man of Icelandic noir' The TimesThe victim: a businessman missing for thirty years. The case: impossible to solve. Until now. A frozen body is discovered in the icy depths of Langjoekull glacier, apparently that of a businessman who disappeared thirty years before. At the time, an extensive search and police investigation yielded no results-one of the missing man's business associates was briefly held in custody, but there wasn't enough evidence to charge him. Now the associate is arrested again and Konrad, the retired policeman who originally investigated the disappearance, is called back to reopen the case that has weighed on his mind for decades. When a woman approaches him with new information that she obtained from her deceased brother, progress can finally be made in solving this long-cold case. In The Darkness Knows, the master of Icelandic crime writing returns with a powerful and haunting story about the poisonous secrets and cruel truths that time eventually uncovers. *A TIMES BEST CRIME FICTION FOR JULY 2021 PICK*
