Announcing the first new Joe Geraghty novel for 7 years.In SOUND OF THE SINNERS we find Joe Geraghty leaving his new home in Amsterdam to attend the funeral of his former business partner and mentor Don Ridley who was found dead shortly after asking for Geraghty's help.With a heavy heart and weighed down with guilt, Joe returns to Hull, a city he thought was in his past.Don's death points to his days with the police and an off-the-books investigation into the unsolved 'Car Boot Murder' decades previously. As Geraghty investigates the circumstances of his friend's death he uncovers dangerous secrets and a conspiracy of silence - Hull might have had a makeover during Joe's absence, but clearly some things never change in the northern sea-port.With his own life on the line, and with a debt of honour to be repaid, Joe is unable to stop in his quest for the truth, but powerful people with vested interests will always seek to ensure some stories never see the light of day.
