Synopsis
When a body is hauled from the River Tyne, Sarah Tucker heads North for a closer look. She identifies the dead woman as private detective Z?e Boehm, but putting a name to the corpse only raises further questions. Did Z?e kill herself, or did one of her old cases come looking for her? And what's brought Sarah's former sparring partner Gerard Inchon to the same broken-down hotel? From derelict shipyards to its glitzy new quayside, Newcastle shows a different face everywhere Sarah looks.

Review
Praise for Smoke and Whispers
"You can always tell when a pro is clicking on all cylinders. Smoke and Whispers, Mick Herron's fifth novel, crackles from the start . . . Atmospheric, full of surprises, with some pools of seductive prose."
--ForeWord Reviews
--Publishers Weekly "Smoke and Whispers is an electrifying story that doesn't let up from start to finish . . . A most original, satisfying suspense thriller."
--Mysterious Reviews
"Always interesting and entertaining . . . Anyone who starts the Zoë 'tetralogy' will be rewarded by continuing with the series."
--International Noir Fiction Praise for Mick Herron "Mick Herron never tells a suspense story in the expected way."
--The New York Times Book Review "Stylish and engaging."
--The Washington Post
"Good characterization, dialogue and well-paced narrative make this confident first novel frighteningly plausible."
--Daily Telegraph
"Masterful . . . How Herron is able to tie all these events together will test the sleuthing ability of even the most savvy readers as one surprise engenders another. The intricate plot, coupled with Herron's breezy writing style . . . results in superior entertainment that makes most other novels of suspense appear dull and slow-witted by comparison."
--Publishers Weekly, Starred Review

We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing.
