A defence barrister is dead. Sound was the weapon. And the killer has more to say.When Dominic Waddington's body is discovered at the base of a Cornish clifftop after days of captivity, DS Liam Kilshaw faces a case unlike any he's encountered. The victim wasn't beaten or stabbed--he was broken by relentless, targeted sound. A method as cruel as it is calculated.
A former special forces operative still battling his own demons, Kilshaw and partner DI Maya Trent soon uncover a pattern. The victims are connected--each linked to a verdict that set a murderer free. Someone believes justice was denied, and they're exacting their own brutal punishment.
As the investigation draws them into Cornwall's rain-soaked backroads and abandoned wartime bunkers, the threat escalates. The killer isn't finished. And with each new victim, the message grows louder--and closer to home.
Where vengeance wears the mask of justice, Kilshaw must silence a killer before the next name on the list becomes someone he can't afford to lose.
