Everything I love in a crime novel – passion, interesting and rooted characters and a great story – Ann Cleeves

Don't miss this award-winning debut crime thriller set in Sheffield introducing DI Diana Walker: A grisly murder has Diana questioning everything she knows, and secrets come to light that threaten to tear her world apart.

Silence protects the victims… And the killer.

When the dismembered body of a headmaster is found on the derelict site of a former school in Sheffield, DI Diana Walker finds herself chasing shadows. Faced with missing teachers, unreported crimes, and silent witnesses, Diana is running out of leads. Her colleagues insist this is just another instance of gang violence, but Diana knows there’s something more. Something everyone’s too scared to talk about.

With her reputation on the line, Diana is determined to find the truth. Her search for answers leads to Sheffield’s neglected underbelly, where she finds distrust, horrifying secrets, and a whole new understanding of justice.

About the Author

Nina Bhadreshwar was born in Ipswich and raised in Barnsley, South Yorkshire, during the Yorkshire Ripper years and the Miners' Strike. At nineteen, she trained and worked as a journalist at her local paper before setting up her own magazine, The Real State. Relocating to Watts, Los Angeles, following a tour with a Mexican-American theatre group, she covered the situation of the gangs post-truce and became the press officer and biographer of Death Row Records. She returned to the UK in her mid-twenties and re-trained as a teacher. Now, Nina is doing a PhD at Dundee University while writing her second novel. She is a graduate of the University of East Anglia's Crime Fiction MA. The Day of the Roaring won Little Brown's UEA Crime Fiction award in 2022 and is her first novel.
