Christmas in Prague means markets, mulled wine and Mikuláš. But when a government official and a British tourist are stabbed during St Nicholas Eve celebrations, Interpol's Susannah Roscoe is called in.
Local police seem more interested in covering their backs and dealing with senior politicians and businessmen than in solving the crime – all except for Susannah's local contact, Major Jana Horáková.
But Susannah soon realises that the crime is too complex for her and Jana to solve alone. Which is where forensic psychologist Dr Petra McBride comes in.
As Advent counts down, the murders keep coming – each victim carefully chosen, each crime staged with chilling precision among Prague's most iconic Christmas landmarks. The victims are connected, but the link lies buried in a secret no one has spoken of for forty years.
With Christmas Eve approaching and a killer still at large, Petra and Susannah must drag the truth into the light before the final victim is claimed. But some secrets have been buried so long, the people protecting them will do anything to keep them hidden.
Veil of Echoes is a fast-paced crime thriller full of twists and dark intrigue, perfect for fans of Killing Eve and Mark Dawson's Beatrix and Isabella books.
