SHORTLISTED FOR THE BLOODY SCOTLAND DEBUT PRIZE AND LONGLISTED FOR THE McILVANNEY PRIZE, 2019.
Some secrets refuse to stay silent.
Anna Scavolini didn’t come home to Glasgow to witness a murder.
But when a man collapses in her arms in Kelvingrove Park, bleeding and terrified, her life takes a dark and unexpected turn.
She knows him. She once loved him.
Now she’s the only witness – and the police want answers.
Haunted by the past and stalked by suspicion, Anna must uncover the truth before it claims another life.
Because someone is watching.
And the closer Anna gets to the truth, the more it feels like she could be next.
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.
