<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"First published in Great Britain in 2015 by Little, Brown Book G roup"--Title page verso.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>"Former detective Carol Jordan and profiler Tony Hill make a welcome return in this whiz-bang brain twister of an investigation into the suspicious deaths of several women that encompasses the ugly side of Internet trolls."--<i>Boston Globe</i></b> <p/>Psychologist Tony Hill and former police detective Carol Jordan are back in <i>Splinter the Silence</i>--a masterful, compulsive read centered on the mysterious deaths of several women who were the victims of vicious cyberbullying. Is it violence if it's virtual? The outspoken women targeted by the increasingly cruel Internet trolls and bullies would say so. For some of them, the torrents of bile and vicious threats prove too much. They begin to silence themselves in a series of high-profile suicides. Or do they? Tony Hill isn't convinced. But he's the only one. After departing the force in a storm of grief, Carol Jordan is too busy messing up her life to care. Until she gets an unexpected second chance. Now it's game on, and the stakes have never been higher. Unpredictable and unputdownable, <i>Splinter the Silence</i> is a timely and disturbing look at the way the anonymity of the internet enables abuse--and a story of two of crime's most formidable enemies, confronting not just a killer but demons of their own. <p/><b>"Dynamic . . . Check out this tartan noir treat."--<i>People</i> <p/>"The novel is as rich in character development as it is in plot . . . We hold our breath as [the killer] plots his next murder and the team scrambles to find out who he is and what he plans to do. McDermid has delivered another stylishly written, complex thriller."--<i>Minneapolis Star Tribune</i> <p/>"Powerful . . . McDermid's prose is pure pleasure to read . . . The plot is tight, the story is thrilling, the ending is as satisfying as they come . . . To read <i>Splinter the Silence</i> is to experience a master operating at the height of her considerable powers. Prepare to be swept away."--<i>Mystery Scene </i></b><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Val McDermid</b> is a world-class crime writer, whose best-selling novels have won the <i>Los Angeles Times</i> Book of the Year Award, and the Crime Writers' Association's Gold Dagger and Cartier Diamond Dagger Award for outstanding achievement.
