Produktbeschreibung
Anna Scavolini hasn't set foot in Glasgow for ten years - and she's not short of reasons... On her first night back in town, what should have been the start of a relaxing Christmas getaway 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 Foley in such a brutal manner - and why? If the police have any leads, they're keeping them under wraps. Convinced that Foley was deliberately targeted rather than the victim of a random attack, Anna begins her own investigation, and in so doing unearths 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. In the Silence is a fast-paced, compelling crime mystery which will appeal to fans of authors like Mark Billingham, Stuart MacBride and Mark Edwards. Shortlisted for the Bloody Scotland Debut Prize and longlisted for the McIlvanney Prize, 2019. Praise for M.R. Mackenzie 'Brings a fresh new voice to the field of Tartan Noir.' - James Oswald 'Writes with precision and passion.' - Caro Ramsay 'Splendidly written stuff.' - Barry Forshaw, Crime Time 'An immersive slow burn of a tale, peppered with disquieting fire-crackers of revelation.' - Morgan Cry 'Mackenzie has come up with something that defies easy definition and is truly original.' - Paul Burke, NB Magazine 'Up there with the best contemporary authors working today.' - David B. Lyons
