A Silent Death - Peter May

A Silent Vow.

Spain, 2020. When expat fugitive Jack Cleland watches his girlfriend die, gunned down in a pursuit involving officer Cristina Sánchez Pradell, he promises to exact his revenge by destroying the policewoman.

A silent life.

Cristina’s aunt Ana has been deaf-blind for the entirety of her adult life: the victim of a rare condition called Usher Syndrome. Ana is the centre of Cristina’s world – and of Cleland’s cruel plan.

A silent death.

John Mackenzie – an ingenious yet irascible Glaswegian investigator – is seconded to aid the Spanish authorities in their manhunt. He alone can silence Cleland before the fugitive has the last, bloody, word.
