Product description

*** SHORTLISTED FOR THE CWA IAN FLEMING STEEL DAGGER AWARD 2018***  

For any reader of Paula Hawkins, THE GIRL ON THE TRAIN or Gillian Flynn's GONE GIRL

MOTHER. WIFE. POLITICIAN. LIAR.

THEN: How far did she go to conceal the truth?

Politician Linda Moscow sacrificed everything to protect her son: her beliefs, her career, her marriage. All she wanted was to keep him safe.

NOW: What will she risk to expose the lies?

When the voices she silenced come back to haunt her, Linda is faced with another impossible choice. Only this time, it's her life on the line . . .

An Act of Silence is about the abuse of power, the devastating effects of keeping the truth buried, and the lengths a mother will go to save her child.

Review

Sensational. Intricately plotted and emotionally tense. I loved it - Clare Mackintosh 

This novel is the definition of a page-turner. Beautifully-written and cleverly plotted - Sun Clever

atmospheric and truly scary - I loved it! - Marian Keyes

 A scorcher of a novel where all the elements of great storytelling come together - vivid characters, great plotting, and a denouement to freeze the blood. I loved it - Liz Nugent, author of Lying In Wait Chilling - Sunday Times 

Colette is beloved of writers like Paula Hawkins, and with this twisty. clever novel, she's guaranteed to win more fans - Red Magazine Brilliant, 

taut psychological thriller - and it could be true. Unputdownable - Julia Crouch 

A tense thriller ... beautifully written and perfectly paced - Fiona Cummins, author of Rattle
