Kim StoneA Detective hiding dark secrets, Kim Stone will stop at nothing to protect the innocent. Silent Scream is the first book in the series – followed by EVIL GAMES. What people are saying about Silent Scream‘A superb debut by an assured new writer. Blending sharp wit with emotion, I thoroughly enjoyed the ride alongside DI Kim Stone and look forward to the next outing.’ Mel Sherratt'I absolutely loved it!… This one is one of the best crime thrillers I've read in a long time, and that includes mainstream authors such as James Patterson! I would seriously put this book in the same league.' Fiona’s Book Reviews‘I have not been so impressed by a debut novel in a long time, and I'm actually now itching for more from D.I. Kim Stone and the rest of her squad… D.I. Kim Stone is like the British Jane Rizzoli… a top-notch crime thriller.’ Leah Loves‘I don't think I've been so hooked by a new author since the discovery of Mark Edwards or Mark Billingham… Silent Scream gets 5 stars from me – if you finish a crime thriller feeling like you just need to have a lie-down and a cup of tea to get your breath back, then the writer has done their job. Angela Marsons, I still don't have my breath back.’ Reading Room with a View‘Normally when I see everybody rating a book five stars I think 'Is it really that good?' Silent Scream is that good, and then some…’ Book Addict Shaun

        Kim clutched the note and headed back to the office. She couldn’t help but feel that somewhere out there was one humungous can of worms and that she’d just been handed the can-opener.

          ‘Chicken,’ he said.
          ‘Damn right.’
          Bryant grabbed the lead of the adult dog. She jumped out of the car of her own accord and stood still. Bryant put the box under his left arm and headed to his front door.
          Kim said a silent prayer. Having seen Bryant’s missus in a bad mood she feared she might never see her colleague again. She’d give him ten minutes and then she'd be on her way.
          She took out her mobile and placed a call to social services. She spoke for a few moments and ended the conversation. An ‘at risk’ call from a police officer galvanised an immediate response. A case worker would be knocking on the door within the hour. Kim suspected Tina was lost but Rhianna and the baby had a chance.
          Bryant’s front door opened and he exited. She couldn’t be totally sure, but his limbs appeared to be intact.
          ‘Still married?’ she asked, moving over to the passenger seat.
          ‘Mum and pups are reunited on a blanket by the kitchen radiator. Chicken and rice is on the stove and the missus is on the internet looking up puppy care.’
          ‘You gonna keep them?’
          He nodded. ‘For now, until they’re old enough.’
          ‘How’d you swing that?’
          He shrugged. ‘Told her the truth, Guv,’ he said, simply.
          Kim visualised the dogs in his home being fussed over and spoilt.
          She shook her head with despair. ‘Okay, now drop me off at the station then get to the hospital. One of us needs to be there to question Croft if the opportunity arises.’
          ‘You not coming?’
          Kim shook her head. ‘Probably not a good idea. It may be just paranoia on my part, but I don’t think Mrs Croft likes me all that much.’

            neighbours West Mercia.
            ‘Should we put a call in to D.S. Bryant, Marm?’
            Kim cringed. She hated the term Marm. At thirty-four, she wasn’t ready to be called Marm.
            A picture of her colleague stumbling into a taxi outside The Dog came into her mind.
            ‘No, I think I'll take this on my own,’ she said, ending the call.
            Kim paused for two seconds as she silenced the iPod. She knew she had to let go of the accusation in the eyes of Laura Yates; real or imagined, she had seen it. And she couldn’t get it out of her mind.
            She would always know that the justice in which she believed had failed someone it was designed to protect. She had persuaded Laura Yates to trust in both her and the system she represented and Kim couldn't rid herself of the feeling that Laura had been let down. By both of them.
