وصف الناشر
From the author of The Bone Keeper comes The Silence, another sinister psychological thriller of secrets, revenge, and a lurking serial killer.
We killed a stranger and covered it up.
It was supposed to be our last weekend away as friends, before marriage and respectability beckoned. But what happened that Saturday changed everything.
The six of us promised we would never tell anyone about the body we buried, even when we realized our victim was a serial killer.
But now the silence has been broken. And the killing has started again…
A twisted thriller that asks if we ever truly know our friends, and just how high price is for our silence.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Early in this chilling thriller from Veste (The Bone Keeper), three couples, close friends from Liverpool, England, go on a camping trip to a music festival. One night, a scream brings them rushing out of their tents, except for the missing Stuart. The other five run into the woods in the direction of the scream. They find Stuart unharmed, but what else they discover leads them to make a split-second decision never to speak of it again. Big changes in all their lives follow. Matt and Alexandra split up after buying a house and talking about starting a family. Stuart and Michelle, who have always had an on-again off-again relationship, agree never to see each other again. Chris and Nicola remain a couple, but rarely see anyone from the group except Matt. Then Stuart is hit by a train, a possible victim of foul play. When another group member goes missing, the remaining four wonder whether their actions that day in the woods are coming back to haunt them. The suspense mounts relentlessly in this hard-to-put-down story. Veste is on a roll.
