A Quiet Teacher

Adam Oyebanji

A spin on a classic mystery, with echoes of Graham Greene, executed with a unique contemporary voice.

Martin Brown
Senior Brand Manager

Adam Oyebanji’s first mystery novel is a masterclass in marrying a gripping whodunnit with wider themes of race, class, identity, and education. Protagonist Greg Abimbola grapples not only with solving a murder, but with the daily struggles of being a Black teacher at a wealthy, and mostly white, private school. Both a beautifully constructed murder mystery and a biting piece of social commentary.
