Silver

De: Chris Hammer

Narrado por: Dorje Swallow

Martin Scarsden returns in the sequel to the best-selling Scrublands.

For half a lifetime, journalist Martin Scarsden has run from his past. But now there is no escaping.

He'd vowed never to return to his hometown, Port Silver, and its traumatic memories. But now his new partner, Mandy Blonde, has inherited an old house in the seaside town and Martin knows their chance of a new life together won't come again.

Martin arrives to find his best friend from school days brutally murdered, and Mandy the chief suspect. With the police curiously reluctant to pursue other suspects, Martin goes searching for the killer. And finds the past waiting for him.

He's making little progress when a terrible new crime starts to reveal the truth. The media descend on Port Silver, attracted by a story that has it all: sex, drugs, celebrity and religion. Once again, Martin finds himself in the front line of reporting.

Yet the demands of deadlines and his desire to clear Mandy are not enough: the past is ever present.

An enthralling and propulsive thriller from the acclaimed and best-selling author of Scrublands.

First half boring, second half excellent

The first half of this book moved very slowly. It's difficult to get engaged in a book like this and stick with it. By contrast the second half keeps you interested. Good plot and some interesting twists.

Not as good as Scrublands.
