Let The Dead Speak is sharp, complex and gripping to the very end" Alex Marwood, bestselling author of Wicked Girls and The Killer Next Door When eighteen-year-old Chloe Emery returns to her West London home she finds her mother missing, the house covered in blood. Everything points to murder, except for one thing: there’s no sign of the body. London detective Maeve Kerrigan and the homicide team turn their attention to the neighbours. The ultra-religious Norrises are acting suspiciously; their teenage daughter and Chloe Emery definitely have something to hide. Then there’s William Turner, once accused of stabbing a schoolmate and the neighborhood’s favorite criminal. Is he merely a scapegoat, or is there more behind the charismatic façade? As a body fails to materialize, Maeve must piece together a patchwork of testimonies and accusations. Who is lying, and who is not? And soon Maeve starts to realize that not only will the answer lead to Kate Emery, but more lives may hang in the balance. With Let the Dead Speak, Jane Casey returns with another taut, richly drawn novel that will grip readers from the opening pages to the stunning conclusion.

Book Description
Unmarked graves are found on the grounds of an old orphanage in this “riveting” British crime thriller by an Edgar Award finalist (Publishers Weekly, starred review). With profiler Tony Hill behind bars and Carol Jordan no longer with the police, he’s finding unexpected outlets for his talents in jail and she’s joined forces with a group of lawyers and forensics experts looking into suspected miscarriages of justice. But they’re doing it without each other; being in the same room at visiting hour is too painful to contemplate. Meanwhile, construction is suddenly halted on the redevelopment of an orphanage after dozens of skeletons are found buried at the site. Forensic examination reveals they date from between twenty and forty years ago, when the nuns were running their repressive regime. But then a different set of skeletons is discovered in a far corner—young men from as recent as ten years ago. When newly promoted DI Paula McIntyre discovers that one of the male skeletons is that of a killer who is supposedly alive and behind bars—and the subject of one of Carol’s miscarriage investigations—it brings Tony and Carol irresistibly into each other’s orbit once again in this masterfully plotted novel by “the queen of psychological thrillers” (Irish Independent).

A waitress's body has been discovered in a back-alley dumpster by the night janitor at Von Sleigo Tool and Die Co. Her body has been dismembered and displayed in the usual shocking macabre scene. Detective Anthony James and his partner Detective Patrick White are at the scene. Detective James knows immediately who is responsible for this gruesome death. The 'Butcher' is at again. The murders started ten years ago. It was a hot and humid August day in St. Louis when a lonely gas inspector discovered the 'Butcher's" handiwork. Three bodies were found dismembered in the basement of an abandoned home. A rookie detective at the time, Anthony James had no idea how this gruesome scene would affect the rest of his life and curse him with the ability to hear the dead speak. Detective James's uncanny ability led him through years to solve cases and bring killers to justice that many would never have suspected. The identity and capture of the 'Butcher' have eluded Detective James, that is until now. Has the 'Butcher' finally made a mistake with his latest victim? Or is the 'Butcher'' playing a clever game of cat and mouse that will send Detective Anthony James and his partner Detective Patrick White down a different path? A path that will expose deceit, infidelity, and betrayal. Corruption at the highest level. Has the 'Butcher' miscalculated his evilness? Will Detective James' ability to hear the dead speak be enough to bring the 'Butcher' to justice? To finally reveal who the 'Butcher' has been all this time. A person who in their right mind would never suspect.
