THE POWERFUL NEW THRILLER IN THE KAREN PIRIE SERIES, NOW A MAJOR ITV SERIES

The truth is buried just beneath the surface . . .

When torrential rain causes a landslide on a motorway in Scotland, it reveals a crime scene: someone hid a body in the tarmac eleven years before. Journalist Sam Nimmo had been the prime suspect in the murder of his fiancee when he disappeared, and now DCI Karen Pirie and her Historic Cases Unit must find out who buried him, and why.

Meanwhile, in Edinburgh, new evidence reopens a closed case and the accidental death of a hotel manager starts to look like murder. But what did Tom Jamieson's book club have to do with his demise - and what will they do to keep their secrets?

Karen and her team begin to untangle a web of lies, one that connects their murder cases with Scotland's rich and powerful. They will be tested to their limits - and possibly beyond . . .

Industry Reviews

Silent Bones is brilliant - really intricate, gripping and asking some tough questions; a perfect crime novel

A beautifully structured, witty and twisty novel with the friendship between the magnificent Karen Pirie and her team at its heart

A propulsive, razor-sharp thrill-ride full of humour, heart, and trademark twists. I love Karen Pirie, and Silent Bones adds to a classic series that just keeps getting better

Powerful, moving and wise - Val McDermid's books are always enthralling
