The Final Silence by Stuart Neville
Summary: In
Belfast, Northern Ireland, memories of the city’s troubled history haunt every
street corner, but for one tortured soul, the incredible violence in his past
is also his most cherished legacy.
Rea Carlisle—daughter of influential Stormont
politician Graham Carlisle—has inherited a house from an uncle she never knew.
It doesn’t take her long to clear out the dead man’s remaining possessions, but
one of the upstairs rooms remains stubbornly locked. When Rea finally forces it
open, she discovers a chair, a table, and a leather-bound book, its pages
filled with a host of chilling mementos—locks of hair, fingernails: a catalog
of victims.
Horrified, Rea wants to go straight to the police,
but her father intervenes. Graham Carlisle has worked too hard to have his
brother’s twisted legacy ruin his promising political career. Thwarted by her
father, Rea turns to the only person she can think of: disgraced police
inspector Jack Lennon.
Meanwhile, Lennon finds himself the lead suspect
in a murder investigation led by one of the force’s toughest cops, DCI Serena
Flanagan. His implication in the murder, coupled with the story Rea has brought
to him, leaves Lennon more than slightly suspicious that the two are part of a
grisly conspiracy.
Angie's Comments: The
Final Silence features Belfast police
inspector Jack Lennon. This isn’t the first book in the series, but you can
read it as a stand-alone novel. Things aren’t quite as they appear in the
beginning of the book, and the twists are interesting. The mystery was not very
suspenseful by the middle of the book, but I kept reading to see how it would
turn out. I wasn’t disappointed!
