The Bridge of Silence
When silence becomes policy, truth becomes dangerous.Weeks after the events of Murder on the 19:40, Tony Greycourt believes the case is over. The city has moved on. The records are closed. The explanations accepted.
Then a man dies - quietly.
Then another objection vanishes - neatly.
Then a professional reputation is erased without accusation.
There is no killer to chase.
No crime to investigate.
No one to arrest.
As Tony begins to uncover a pattern of "revisions" that correct outcomes rather than mistakes, he realises he is no longer observing a mystery - he is standing inside a system designed to reward silence and eliminate disruption.
With the help of forensic document examiner Nell Ward, Tony follows a trail not of blood, but of paperwork, audits, and decisions that were never officially made.
The Bridge of Silence is a cerebral, unsettling British crime novel about accountability, institutional memory, and what happens when systems learn to protect themselves.
This second instalment in The Greycourt Files delivers a complete, thought-provoking mystery - and leaves readers questioning how many truths in the real world survive only because no one looks too closely.
