Publisher's summary

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

Disappointed

I really enjoyed Scrublands but was disappointed in Silver. It starts off promisingly and I think maybe with better editoring it could be better. Too much time driving back and forth did nothing for the story other than drag it out. The bit about eating endangered fish and animals was unnecessary and might give some legitimacy to this although one sentence near the ends basiclly says the perpetrator should stop. This left me with a bad taste . Possibly the wrong people died in the story

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
