A series beloved by readers, reviewers, and fans of the hit TV series Vera alike, Silent Voices is the perfect entry point to the Detective Inspector Vera Stanhope series for new readers.
This reissue is part of the Minotaur Signature Editions program.

When DI Vera Stanhope finds the body of a woman in the steam room of her local swimming pool, she wonders briefly if, for once, it’s a death from natural causes. But closer inspection reveals bruises around the victim’s throat . . . As she leads her team, Vera relishes the thrill she gets from running an investigation. Death has never made her feel so alive. Soon, the victim’s past reveals a shocking secret at the heart of their community, as they try to stop a killer in the present who can’t seem to let go of the past.

Singular, complex and fiercely loyal, Vera has quickly become an iconic British detective loved by millions both on the page and on-screen, and Silent Voices showcases Ann Cleeves as a writer at the peak of her powers.
