Splinter the Silence

LoveReading Says

A Maxim Jakubowski selected title.

Reader favourites Tony Hill and Carol Jordan return in another impeccable, major thriller with all the McDermid trademarks of breathless tension, unsettling graphic criminal details and a plot engineered inch by inch to grip and never let go. Forget their erstwhile small screen portrayals and get involved with the so much more complex psychology of characters familiar but always a tad unpredictable, and thefeore eminently human.

The grizzled psychological profiler and the former DCI with a troubled past team up once more to track and hunt down a particularly imaginative and cruel serial killer whose murderous deeds remain hidden behind the surface as apparent suicides provoked by malicious online stalking, shielding him from the law.

As ever, the matter becomes highly personal and a race against time is set in motion. If you like to squirm in your armchair unable to close the pages until the sometimes bitter end, McDermid's your dame! ~ Maxim Jakubowski
