The Rest Is Silence by James R Benn

The Rest Is Silence by James R Benn

The fog of war surrounding D-Day and Operation Tiger provides cover for one of Billy Boyle's grisliest investigations.

When an unidentified corpse washes ashore at Slapton Sands on England's southern coast, US Army Captain Billy Boyle and his partner, Lieutenant Piotr "Kaz" Kazimierz, are assigned to investigate. The Devonshire beach is the home to Operation Tiger, the top-secret rehearsal for the approaching D-Day invasion of Normandy, and the area is restricted; no one seems to know where the corpse could have come from. Luckily, Billy and Kaz have a comfortable place to lay their heads at the end of the day: Kaz's old school chum David lives close by and has agreed to host the two men during their investigation. Glad for a distraction from his duties, Billy settles into life at David's family's fancy manor, Ashcroft, and makes it his mission to get to know its intriguing cast of characters.

Just when Billy and Kaz begin to wrap up their case, they find themselves with not one soggy corpse on their hands but hundreds following a terrible tragedy during the D-Day rehearsal. To complicate things, life at Ashcroft has been getting tense: secret agendas, buried histories, and family grudges abound. Then one of the men meets a sudden demise. Was it a heart attack? Or something more sinister?

Billy Boyle's World War II mysteries are written by James R.Benn. Billy Boyle, his debut, was called one of Book Sense's top five mysteries of 2006 and was a Dilys Award contender. These books garnered starred ratings from Publishers Weekly and Library Journal, as well as being named Bookpage Mystery of the Month. The Independent Mystery Booksellers Association has designated two of them as Killer Books. Benn and his wife, Deborah Mandel, live in Hadlyme, Connecticut, where he has worked as a librarian for many years.
