“A cinematic, raging, rollercoaster of a plot with a wry humour ? The Quiet People is wildly entertaining and will keep you guessing right to the end.” –New Zealand Herald

“A superb novel from a champion storyteller.” –Crime Watch

“Cleave writes the kind of dark, intense thrillers that I never want to end. Do yourself a favour and check him out.” -Simon Kernick

______________________________

Cameron and Lisa Murdoch are successful crime writers. They have been on the promotional circuit, joking that no one knows how to get away with crime like they do. After all, they write about it for a living.

So when their seven-year-old son Zach goes missing, the police and the public naturally wonder if they have finally decided to prove what they have been saying all this time?

Are they trying to show how they can commit the perfect crime?
