2019 McIlvanney Prize (nominee)
SHORTLISTED FOR THE BLOODY SCOTLAND DEBUT PRIZE AND LONGLISTED FOR THE McILVANNEY PRIZE, 2019.
Some secrets refuse to stay silent.
Anna Scavolini hasn’t set foot in Glasgow for ten years – and she’s not short of reasons. Her first night back in town takes a decidedly macabre turn when she stumbles upon an old flame, Andrew Foley, bleeding to death on the snow-clad slopes of Kelvingrove Park.
Who killed Andrew in such a savage way – and why? If the police have any leads, they’re keeping them to themselves. Convinced that Andrew was deliberately targeted rather than a random victim, Anna begins her own investigation, unearthing a trail of long-buried secrets leading back to a crime committed over a decade ago.
A crime so unspeakable its perpetrators are prepared to take their silence to the grave.
Perfect for fans of Denise Mina, Rachel Abbott and Val McDermid, In the Silence is the first in a gripping and atmospheric series of Scottish crime novels featuring criminology lecturer Anna Scavolini.
