A Whisper Away From Evil: A relentless and unmissable British crime thriller
Gabriel Blake
‘Oh, what a tangled web we weave,
when first we practice to deceive.’
— Sir Walter Scott, Marmion (1808)
On a bleak December night on a Kent motorway, Detective Inspector Harry
Baxendale is called to a fatal car crash that’s anything but routine. A man
is dead, and a teenage girl seen by witnesses at the scene has vanished. The
next morning, a traumatised young woman is found lying on a centuries-old
grave near the crash site – claiming to have narrowly escaped abduction.
As Harry and Police Constable Lucy Fenton search for answers, their
investigation leads them through a tangle of mysteries, secrets and lies,
while the body count begins to rise.
Still reeling from the loss of his partner, former journalist Lenny Grey is
reluctantly drawn into the case. His discoveries take him from an eerie Kent
graveyard to the icy streets of Toronto, uncovering a chilling link between
present-day murders and the tragic fate of twin sisters wronged in the
eighteenth century. As Christmas and New Year’s approach, a final
confrontation looms – and Harry is forced into a choice that will haunt him
forever.
