Smoke and Whispers by Mick Herron

By the New York Times bestselling author of Slow Horses

Oxford private detective Zoë Boehm turns up dead in Newcastle, launching her friend Sarah Tucker into an investigation with several leads but no one she can trust. The thrilling fourth installment in the series that begins with Down Cemetery Road, now an Apple Original series.


When a body is hauled from the River Tyne, Sarah Tucker heads to Newcastle for a closer look. She identifies the dead woman as private detective Zoë Boehm, but putting a name to the corpse only raises further questions. Did Zoë kill herself, or did one of her old cases come back to haunt her? Why was she wearing the jacket a murderer had stolen years before? And what's brought Sarah's former sparring partner Gerard Inchon to the same broken-down hotel where she's staying? Coincidence is an excuse that soon appears pretty unconvincing. Sarah can't leave until she's found the answers to her questions, however dangerous they might turn out to be.

Mick Herron was born in Newcastle and graduated from Balliol College, Oxford, with a degree in English. Slow Horses, Dead Lions, Nobody Walks, Real Tigers, Spook Street, Down Cemetery Road, The Last Voice You Hear, Why We Die, Smoke and Whispers, and Reconstruction are among his ten other works, along with the novella The List. He has received nominations for the Macavity, Barry, Shamus, and CWA Steel Dagger Awards, as well as an Ellery Queen Readers Award and the CWA Gold Dagger for Best Crime Novel. He is based in Oxford.
