**FROM THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER**
**'A TERRIFIC WRITER' MARK BILLINGHAM**
**PETER MAY: OVER 4.5 MILLION COPIES SOLD WORLDWIDE**

Set in Southern Spain, A Silent Death is the scorching new thriller from worldwide bestselling author of The Lewis Trilogy, Cast Iron and I'll Keep You Safe.

A SILENT VOW

Spain, 2020. When expat fugitive Jack Cleland watches his girlfriend die, gunned down in a pursuit involving officer Cristina Sanchez 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 named 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.

Peter May's latest bestseller unites a strong, independent Spaniard with a socially inept Scotsman; a senseless vendetta with a sense-deprived victim, and a red-hot Costa Del Sol with an ice-cold killer.

I do love Peter Forbes’s readings and the incredible writing of Peter May. His use of similes and metaphors is exquisite. A clear favourite of the many authors I’ve read.

The detailed plot incorporating so much information to describe the life of a deaf and blind person’s life.

A Fabulous Book!

The story is fast and engaging, with the usual abundance of quality words.
But the words he loves he over uses. If we counted the number of coruscates in this book alone its 3.
In all his books, well I rest my case.
Peter Forbes brilliant as usual.

Coruscating

Great narration, which makes all the difference. The story is set abroad and thanks to the narration you can 'feel' the location. Pace is reasonable and the story is not far fetched at all - lm glad l listened to this one.

Just an enjoyment

The story, writing combined with the reader make the book irresistible. There is a bit of melancholy and sadness, but there is also unbending right and wrong. Peter May never disappoints.

Another fantastic book
