Description

The third sinister book from Jake Woodhouse. Jaap Rykel may be chasing a serial killer or - if possible - something worse A body is found, the victim's head wrapped in cling film, hands tied behind her back. The small island's police force needs help from Amsterdam's Murder Squad's veteran Detective Inspector Jaap Rykel. A suspect confesses, but the killer has no history of violence, no motive, and no connection to the victim. Across the country, a similar murder is reported and Rykel wonders if these are random senseless acts, or something far darker... Rykel walks a thin line between spotting patterns no one wants to see, and a sinister, sprawling case which will consume everything in its path...

Reviews

A gripping police procedural, After the Silence sees Inspector Jaap Rykel of Amsterdam's Murder Squad drawn into a case which may destroy him . . . * from the publisher's description *
This gripping detective novel will thrill fans of The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo and bears comparison to Fatherland ... Utterly unputdownable * Sun *
Taut, expertly woven and beautifully written ... in Inspector Jaap Rykel, Woodhouse has created a flawed gem -- Craig Robertson
A strong sense of place is matched by a capacity for storytelling that keeps the plot accelerating * Daily Mail *
Utterly enthralling ... looks set to be one of the key sequences in modern crime fiction -- Barry Forshaw, Crimetime
After the Silence is as dark and twisty as the Amsterdam it navigates and Rykel a fascinating and original protagonist. A promising start to what could be a great series -- Stav Sherez, author of A Dark Redemption
