Publisher's Synopsis
Ashfield, 1926. A city gripped by snow and fear.
When a string of married women are found dead-each with a haunting note and no sign of struggle-Detectives Victor Broderick and Jack Langfor begin to unravel a ritualistic pattern that points to the Mercy Sisters, a women's religious charity hiding more than prayer meetings.
As the bodies mount and the killer slips through their fingers, the city's most determined journalist, Martha Halwell, begins her own investigation-one that may uncover the truth... or become the next target.
The Sixth Never Spoke is a gripping historical thriller that weaves psychological suspense with chilling atmosphere, exploring the silence that protects secrets-and the price of breaking it. If you enjoy The Alienist, Mindhunter, or True Detective, this novel belongs on your shelf.
"When the truth is silenced, blood fills the gap."
