About This Item
New York: Thomas Dunne Books/St. Martin's Minotaur, 2006. Book. Fine. Hardcover. Signed by Author(s). First U.S. Edition. Fine copy, jacket in a Mylar archival sleeve. Translated from the Icelandic by Bernard Scudder. Winner of the CWA Golden Dagger Award. Building work in an expanding Reykjavik uncovers a shallow grave. Years before, this part of the city was all open hills, and Erlendur and his team hope this is a typical Icelandic missing person scenario; perhaps someone once lost in the snow, who has lain peacefully buried for decades. Things are never that simple. Whilst Erlendur struggles to hold together the crumbling fragments of his own family, his case unearths many other tales of family pain. The hills have more than one tragic story to tell: tales of failed relationships and heartbreak; of anger, domestic violence and fear; of family loyalty and family shame. Few people are still alive who can tell the story, but even secrets taken to the grave cannot remain hidden forever.".
Synopsis
Silence of the Grave is a crime novel by Icelandic writer Arnaldur Indriðason.

Originally published in Icelandic in 2001, the English translation by Bernard Scudder, in 2005, won the British Crime Writers' Association Gold Dagger award for best crime novel of the year. The novel has the distinction of being the last ever to do so, as the award was re-named in 2006.
