All Those Quiet Lies

A murdered woman. A missing daughter. A truth buried across two continents.

When a Japanese immigrant living in Seattle is found murdered and her teenage daughter missing, Detective Calhoun is thrown into the most personal case of her career. The further the investigation goes, the more she begins to question her own origins - something she'd spent a lifetime afraid to do.

The victim lived as Anne Walker, but she was once Rika Takahashi. From Tokyo’s criminal underworld to small-town America, Rika spent years running, hiding from a past that refused to stay buried.

Now Chelsey must find her daughter before it’s too late. But as she closes in on the truth, one thing becomes clear: some secrets are worth killing for – and the most dangerous ones are closest to home.

For fans of Chris Whitaker and Celeste Ng, this is a beautifully written crime novel about family, race and the long shadows of hidden truths.
