Splinter the Silence
The bestselling "Queen of Crime reigns again" when a profiler and an ex-cop investigate the suspicious deaths of women targeted by Internet trolls (Independent, UK).
From the international bestselling author of The Mermaids Singing and The Wire in the Blood comes the ninth installment of her beloved series featuring psychologist Tony Hill and former DCI Carol Jordan . . .
Vicious online attacks seem to be driving outspoken women to silence themselves through suicide. Yet for profiler Tony Hill, who knows a thing or two about patterns in human behavior, something doesn't add up.
Carol Jordan, meanwhile, is too busy tackling her own demons to think about a potential serial killer. But when she gets an opportunity for a second chance, it's game on. This time around, though, the stakes have never been higher.
