When Silence Kills

Criminal psychologist Holly Wakefield and DCI Bishop of the Met Police return in the third nail-biting thriller from Mark Griffin. A woman is found mutilated in her home in an attack that echoes three unsolved murders from years before. The gruesome murders are planned precisely and the victims are given a cocktail of drugs that prevents them crying out for help – leaving them screaming in silence. Despite being one of the best criminal psychologists in the country, Holly finds that trying to profile their serial killer is harder than she could have imagined and she and Bishop must trace back events decades before to uncover a link between the victims. This is a fast-paced, gritty thriller that reads like a prime time TV series and that will give you chills! Think the creepiness of Luther with the loveable character dynamics of Line of Duty. What’s not to love?!

A KILLER SO CLEVER, NOBODY HEARS THE SCREAMS . . .
When the mutilated body of a woman is discovered in her home, DCI Bishop from the Met murder squad is called in to oversee the case. The horrific killing bears a striking resemblance to three other murders years before, but the cases were never solved. Bishop knows they need the help of Holly Wakefield, a criminal psychologist who specialises in getting inside the minds of serial killers.
The grisly murders occur every three years, but it is the stick-man drawing left at each crime scene that has the police baffled. A post-mortem also detects a cocktail of drugs that can leave a victim screaming in silence. No one would have heard their cries for help.
Holly suspects that they are a missing a vital clue that links the victims. But can she discover the link before the killer comes knocking at her door?
A twisty, heart-racing new serial killer thriller, perfect for fans of Robert Bryndza, Angela Marsons and Stuart MacBride.
