Riassunto

Hot young British film star Amanda Delany had the world at her feet. She'd had a string of affairs with famous actors, making perfect fodder for the tabloids. Then came a commission to write a tell-all memoir. When Amanda is found brutally murdered, DCI James Langton's enquiry discovers the sad truth behind her successful facade. Addicted to drugs and starvation diets, she'd almost died from a botched abortion. Meanwhile, DI Anna Travis is up for promotion, but Langton is blocking her, accusing her of professional misconduct. This latest case could make or break Anna's career. **Lynda La Plante's Widows is now a major motion picture**

Recensione:

‘British film starlet Amanda Delany has a string of hit movies to her credit, along with a series of affairs with famous actors and a lucrative contract to write a tell-all memoir. But before she can start her book, Delany is found murdered’
Irish Sunday Independent 20/9
‘As ever La Plante excels when it comes to police procedure and the minutiae of the investigation. The compulsive plot whizzes along, twisting and turning, with clues being dropped like litter. It’s a great read and another well-deserved notch on La Plante’s bestseller list’
Sunday Express 18/10
‘Best-known for creating TV’s Prime Suspect, Lynda La Plante writes fantastic crime novels , including the addictive Anna Travis series. In Silent Scream the gutsy DI is assigned to investigate the murder of British film star Amanda Delany. Just like the four earlier books in the series, La Plante’s tale races as Anna uncovers the sordid truthbehind Amanda’s glittering public image’ ‘Find an arresting read this Christmas’, Express 4/12
