Witnessing a murder while on vacation, a detective is drawn into a twisting case in “another tour de force” for the New York Times bestseller (Publishers Weekly).

As a newly appointed Scotland Yard superintendent, Richard Jury takes a much-needed holiday in West Yorkshire. But the respite is short-lived when he observes a woman shoot her husband at an inn called The Old Silent. With no question of “whodunit”, Jury is determined to discover why. Snooping outside his jurisdiction leads him to the dark tale of a kidnapped music prodigy—as more murders ratchet up the stakes.

Now caught up in a triple murder, Jury would go to any lengths to help Nell Healey, the lovely widow of one of the victims. But Nell Healey remains silent as the Yorkshire moors, quiet as the grave, while the scope of the mystery widens.
