Silent in the Grave
Deanna Raybourn“Let the wicked be ashamed, and let them be silent in the grave.”
These ominous words are the last threat that Sir Edward Grey receives
from his killer. Before he can show them to Nicholas Brisbane, the
private inquiry agent he has retained for his protection, he collapses
and dies at his London home, in the presence of his wife, Julia, and a
roomful of dinner guests.
Prepared to accept that Edward’s death was due to a long-standing
physical infirmity, Julia is outraged when Brisbane visits and suggests
that her husband was murdered. It is a reaction she comes to regret when
she discovers damning evidence for herself, and realizes the truth.
Determined to bring the murderer to justice, Julia engages the
enigmatic Brisbane to help her investigate Edward’s demise. Dismissing
his warnings that the investigation will be difficult, if not
impossible, Julia presses forward, following a trail of clues that lead
her to even more unpleasant truths, and ever closer to a killer who
waits expectantly for her arrival.
