Euro Crime reviews of the book are here (me) and here (Mark).
Official blurb: 2 missing girls. Same place. Same time. 23 years apart. History repeats itself in this knife-edged thriller, which has been described as the natural successor to The Killing.An ageing detective comes out of retirement in the hope of solving a missing girl case, which is believed to be connected to an unsolved mystery that happened 23 years ago. Over the long hot summer days, tensions start to reach breaking point as our troubled detective closes in on the deeply methodical serial killer.
A striking debut, The Silence follows on from European crime thrillers such as The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo and Wallander as it delves into the psyche of detectives and criminals to deliver a chilling story of murder and betrayal.

I wanted to see this film in the cinema but it wasn't being shown anywhere near me. I think I will buy the DVD so thanks for letting us know about its release.
Thanks for the info. I'll look out for it. Having read the three so far translated in this series, I can see why they went for this one (#2) as a film as it has the most action/plot. The other two are more introspective novels and so may not transpose as well to the screen.
Thanks for the post. I'm adding it to the Euro dvd wishlist.
