What if a childless man in his forties discovers that he has a daughter, the result of an affair twenty-five years earlier? What if the daughter is pregnant? And what if she’s on the run for murder? James wasn’t much more than a child when he had an affair with Lily. Now, 24 years later, Lily confesses to James that their affair led to a daughter, Kate. And Kate desperately needs her father’s help, because she is wanted for murder. Yet there is no room for murder in James’s life–he has a wife, a good job, and a nice house in the country. Kate comes crashing into his world, and lights the fuse under his ordered life. Because James has also been keeping a secret–a very dark and deadly one.A Stain on the Silence is Andrew Taylor at his suspenseful, page-turning best.

Genre:

  • "It's the high level of emotional literacy, coupled with Taylor's beautifully controlled style, that makes this book a page-turning, one-sitting read from a master of psychological suspense."
    Laura Wilson, Time Out
  • "A beautifully constructed novel, one of Taylor's best."
    Margaret Cannon, Toronto Globe and Mail
  • "The story displays Taylor's usual skilful plotting and characterization as it moves between past and present, gradually exposing long-hidden secrets."
    Sunday Telegraph
  • "Taylor is brilliant at capturing teenage angst . . . he excels not only in narrative control, but in depth of characterization."
    Jane Jakeman, Independent
