The Weight of Silence

By Craig Iain Thompson

The Weight of Silence

Book Two in the Grimshaw & Harper Series

A body washes up on Roker Beach. Male. Unidentified. Alone.

What begins as a routine investigation quickly unravels into something far more disturbing. Detective Sergeant Grimshaw and Sergeant Harper are drawn into a tangled web of lies, silence, and manipulation-one that leads to the quiet, broken life of Karl Fletcher.

At first glance, Karl's story appears tragically simple: a missing man, a failed marriage, a sudden death. But behind closed doors, the truth was darker than anyone dared imagine. As the team peels back the layers of control, gaslighting, and emotional torment, they discover a reality few are willing to face-that sometimes the victim isn't who society expects.

When a burnt-out car, a hidden journal, and a long-buried confession come to light, the team must confront uncomfortable questions about love, loyalty, and abuse. And just as they begin to piece together the truth, a new shadow emerges-one that threatens to pull Grimshaw back into the very case he thought was behind him.

How do you bring justice to someone who was never allowed to speak?
