In the scorching summer of 1976-the hottest on record-Christopher Norton, his wife Laura and their young daughter Faye settle into their new home in north London. The faded glory of the Victorian house is the perfect place for Norton, a composer of film soundtracks, to build a recording studio of his own. But soon in the long, oppressively hot nights, Laura begins to hear something through the crackle of the baby monitor. First, a knocking sound. Then come the voices. For Norton, the voices mark an exciting opportunity. Putting his work aside, he begins the project of a lifetime-a grand symphony incorporating the voices-and becomes increasingly obsessed with one voice in particular. Someone who is determined to make themselves heard ...

Industry Reviews

"Tallis is a master of psychological suspense, and this novel, which reaches its climax during the London heat wave of 1976, is utterly gripping." -- Booklist (starred) "Invites comparisons to Stephen King's classic The Shining. Incisive and beautifully observed storytelling produces a genuine page-turner." -- Kirkus Reviews "Recommended for fans of thrillers in the gothic tradition, such as Ira Levin's Rosemary's Baby and Shirley Jackson's work." -- Library Journal (starred) "A chilling tale of supernatural snooping. On its surface, The Voices is a ghost story set in a haunted house. But its historical setting adds complexity. This horror story is undeniably hair-raising." -- Shelf Awareness "Set in the '70s, this is sophisticated creep, spellbinding and sinister, but it's also about a marriage in decay and a house that's encouraging it." -- The Minneapolis Star Tribune (Favorite Mysteries and Thrillers of 2014)
