The clues to smashing open this disturbing case lie behind the old Victorian walls of the clinic. They claim that patients are free to leave at any time.

Inte ens de mörkaste hemligheter förblir begravda för alltid ... Fem personer står samlade runt en grund grav. De har turats om att gräva. Ett hål stort nog att passa en vuxen skulle ha tagit längre tid. Ett oskyldigt liv har tagits, men en blodpakt har ingåtts. Deras hemligheter kommer att begravas och skulden binda dem samman för alltid. Många år senare hittas en rektor mördad i ett badkar. Det är det första av en rad hemska mord som skakar Black Country. Och när mänskliga kvarlevor upptäcks nära ett före detta barnhem kommer oroväckande hemligheter i dagen. Allteftersom fler mordoffer hittas, förstår kriminalkommissarie Kim Stone att den hon söker är en mycket störd individ, vars mördande har pågått i årtionden. Men, för att hindra mördaren från att slå till igen, måste Kim konfrontera demoner ur sitt eget förflutna. Tiden är knapp, kommer hon att hinna innan mördaren slår till på nytt? --- Angela Marsons är den bästsäljande författaren till serien om kommissarie Kim Stone, vars böcker har sålt i mer än fem miljoner exemplar och översatts till 30 språk. Översättningen av Dead Souls – La Verita Sepolte – vann nyligen det prestigefyllda italienska litteraturpriset Premio Bancarella. Författaren bor i Worcestershire, tillsammans med sin partner och deras två busiga golden retrievers. Hon upptäckte sin passion för skrivandet redan i lågstadiet. Det som lärdes ut kom alltid i andra hand eftersom det var mer intressant att studera människor och hitta på egna historier om dem. Efter att i flera år ha skrivit relationsromaner, övergick Angela till krim, naturligtvis bara i fiktionen, och skapade en huvudperson som sedan vägrade att försvinna. --- "Kommissarie Kim Stone är den mest fascinerande karaktären som dykt upp på scenen sedan Val McDermid gav oss Tony Hill." – Mark Edwards "Jag fullkomligt älskade den! ... En av de bästa deckare jag har läst på länge och då inkluderar jag författare som James Patterson!" – Fionas bokrecensioner "Wow ... fantastisk ... gripande ... man fastnar redan i första kapitlet ... man vill inte lägga ifrån sig boken när man väl har börjat." – Liten nordlig själ "Jag upptäckte att jag bet på naglarna flera gånger ... att säga att den här boken är lysande är en underdrift." – Relax and Read Reviews "Tyst skrik får 5 stjärnor av mig – om du efter att ha läst en deckare känner att du måste lägga dig ner och dricka en kopp te för att kunna andas normalt, då har författaren gjort ett bra jobb. Angela Marsons, jag har fortfarande inte hämtat andan." – Reading Room with a View "Hur ska jag kunna recensera en bok som jag tyckte så mycket om? ... utan tvekan en av de mest begåvade författare jag har läst ... fartfylld, gripande och så intensiv och du kommer att älska Kim. Hon är en av de mest minnesvärda karaktärer jag har stött på i en bok." – This Chick Reads "Man bläddrar och bläddrar och bläddrar! Och sitter på helspänn och gissar. En riktig bladvändare. Jag var inte alls beredd på slutet!" – BTPBookClub
