A QUIET TEACHER

Adam Oyebanji

A teacher trying to hide in the shadows finds himself embroiled in a murder investigation in this compelling and fresh read from a new unique, contemporary voice.

Greg Abimbola is a language teacher at the prestigious Calderhill Academy in Pittsburgh. Only that's not his real name . . . or the only secret he's hiding. Greg has a closetful.

When the murder of a wealthy parent on school premises shines an unwanted spotlight on Calderhill Academy, Greg is determined to avoid attention.

That is until the closest person to a true friend Greg has is arrested for the murder. To prove her innocence, Greg will reluctantly emerge from the shadows. But doing so will put him in danger. His past is determined to find him . . . and his past is full of bad things.

Adam Oyebanji was born in Coatbridge, North Lanarkshire. He is taking the big step of moving east to Edinburgh by way of Birmingham, London, Lagos, Chicago, Pittsburgh and New York: a necessary detour, because the traffic otherwise is really, really bad. A graduate of Birmingham University and Harvard Law School, Adam works in the field of counter-terrorist financing, helping banks choke off the money supply to rogue states, narcotics empires, and human trafficking networks.

Comments

"Oyebanji's hero is complicated and sure to win readers' sympathies." ? Kirkus Reviews "Well-plotted . . . Oyebanji demonstrates a confident and developed voice and style." ? Library Journal "A tense and topical thriller." ? The Times "Along the way to the satisfying ending, Oyebanji smoothly inserts commentary on topical social and political issues." ? Publishers Weekly "Imagine John le Carré attempting an Agatha Christie mystery. Or the other way around. In any case, that mix is at the heart of this stunning novel." ? Booklist Starred Review
