Sinossi

“An ingeniously plotted and tightly written novel of taut psychological suspense” from the New York Times bestselling author of the Butcher’s Boy novels (Nelson DeMille).   Six years ago, private investigator Jack Till helped Wendy Harper disappear. But now her ex-boyfriend and former business partner is being framed for her presumed murder in an effort to smoke her out, and Till must find her before tango-dancing assassins Paul and Sylvie Turner do.   The Turners are merely hired to do a job, though, and prefer to remain anonymous. When they find that a middleman has let the true employer know their identities, finishing the job is no longer enough. Their fee just went up.   Full of masterful plotting and unnerving psychological insight, Silence is a mesmerizing thrill ride.   “Ingenious.”—George Pelecanos   “Brilliant.”—Robert B. Parker   “Mr. Perry spins an elaborate web of cat-and-mouse machinations . . . driven as much by the characters’ fears and neuroses as by ordinary motives . . . Expertly wrought.”—The New York Times   “As good as [Perry] gets . . . Silence entertains until the very last page.”—New York Daily News   “Another intelligent, literate thriller . . . As always, Perry excels at the procedural details, keeps up the pace throughout and will have readers guessing until the end.”—Publishers Weekly

    After Jane's last brush with a murderer landed her with a feature in People magazine, she is eager to get back to her literary life as a book agent—reading book proposals, making deals, talking to authors. She's glad to put fame aside and now that her beloved son Nick's birthday is coming up, she's busy planning a birthday party for him. 
     
     
     
    She selects one of her favorite spots, a local inn, but before anyone can sing Happy Birthday and say "make a wish," the body of a young woman is found hanging from a tree in the woods back behind the inn. 
     
     
     
    No one seems to know who she is, but she has been murdered. 
     
     
     
    Found near the body is a clipping of the People magazine article about Jane, the only clue. Why did this woman have it? What does it have to do with her murder? And why was she so interested in Jane and her neighbors? 
     
     
     
    The mystery deepens as more people start to die in Shady Hills while Jane and her detective friend hunt as fast as they can for clues as to the identity of the mystery women—and of the killer on the loose.

    SUFFER THE CHILDREN is the third audiobook by Welsh crime writer Cheryl Rees-Price to feature Detective Inspector Winter Meadows. When Natalie Benyon's eighteen-month-old daughter Ella disappears from a housing estate, the police and local community act quickly to organise a search. Given the age of the child, once the local area is scoured, DI Winter Meadows draws the frightening conclusion that Ella has been abducted. The attention of the police focuses on the family itself: the lifestyle of the mother, the boyfriend, the raucous party they had the night before Ella's disappearance. And a search in their garden reveals a chilling discovery that turns the case upside down and sends a shockwave through the community. All of a sudden Meadows has a murder case on his hands – one that threatens to side-line the search for Ella. Can the detective join up the dots, solve the case and find the child?

    The Austrian nobility in Rome forms a very close circle, into which only those of high rank and wealth are admitted. They managed to get along with Cecil Sterzl, who, although not one of their own, is regarded as quite an amiable man. However, when he brings his younger sister Zinka into that circle, she is received very coldly at first, if at all. And when, with her fresh and unaffected manners, she wins one heart after another, especially that of the handsome Count Sempaly, she also excites jealousy and contempt in many members of that "set". They are not willing to give up the old notions of social rank and status without a fight... Ossip Schubin [Aloisia Kirschner] is a now half-forgotten Austrian novelist of Bohemian descent, who has herself spent several years of her youth in Rome.
