P. D.
James meets E.
L. James in Under
a Silent Moon,
this first novel
in an exciting
British crime
series—a blend
of literary
suspense and
page-turning
thriller that
introduces
formidable
Detective Chief
Inspector Louisa
Smith—from
suspense talent
Elizabeth
Haynes, author
of the
bestselling Into
the Darkest
Corner.
In the
crisp, early
hours of an
autumn morning,
the police are
called to
investigate two
deaths. The
first is a
suspected murder
at a farm on the
outskirts of a
small village. A
beautiful young
woman has been
found dead, her
cottage drenched
with blood. The
second is a
reported suicide
at a nearby
quarry. A car
with a woman’s
body inside was
found at the
bottom of the
pit.
As DI
Louisa Smith and
her team gather
evidence, they
discover a
shocking link
between the two
cases and the
two deaths—a
bond that sealed
their terrible
fates one cold
night, under a
silent moon.
In Under
a Silent Moon,
Elizabeth Haynes
interweaves
fictional primary
source
materials—police
reports, phone
messages,
interviews—and
multiple character
viewpoints to
create a sexy,
edgy, and
compulsively
readable tale of
murder, mystery,
and unsettling
suspense.
