About this listen

 A killer so clever, nobody hears the screams . . .

When the mutilated body of a woman is discovered in her home, DCI Bishop from the Met murder squad is called in to oversee the case. The horrific killing bears a striking resemblance to three other murders years before, but the cases were never solved. Bishop knows they need the help of Holly Wakefield, a criminal psychologist who specialises in getting inside the minds of serial killers.

The grisly murders occur every three years, but it is the stick-man drawing left at each crime scene that has the police baffled. A post-mortem also detects a cocktail of drugs that can leave a victim screaming in silence. No one would have heard their cries for help.

Holly suspects that they are a missing a vital clue that links the victims. But can she discover the link before the killer comes knocking at her door?

The twisty, heart-racing new serial killer thriller in the Holly Wakefield series, perfect for fans of Robert Bryndza, Angela Marsons and Stuart MacBride.

Critic reviews

A creepily sinister thriller that will keep you wide-eyed into the wee small hours . . . A real chiller!
Praise for the Holly Wakfield series:
Creepy, twisted and gripping (5-star review)
Mightily impressive . . . deviously plotted, with a bleak thread of intriguing twists
A thrilling new talent (Peter James)
Dark, compelling and expertly paced . . . one of the best police procedurals I've read for a long time (M. W. Craven)
A must for all crime readers
Meticulously plotted and devious in its execution, Mark Griffin's debut novel is utterly compelling. I can't wait to read the rest of the Holly Wakefield series (Lesley Kara)
Wow. I read this in less than a day. As many twists and turns as a rollercoaster! A fascinating lead character with a deliciously dark secret. It's the kind of writing which grabs you and won't let you go (Amy Lloyd)
Deftly plotted, propulsive, psychologically astute . . . totally horrifying (Dominic Nolan)
Absolutely gripping . . . It reminded me of Thomas Harris - the same combination of terror and the detective pitting wits against a psychopath. I had to keep reading, while dreading what was coming next (Toby Faber)

This is one very complex story that thrills all the way through, I do have two complaints though, one, I'd have liked it to be longer, two, the cliff hanger ending ... I'm not happy about having to wait a year plus for the next book.

Outstanding
