Jane Casey worked in publishing before she debuted with her International award winning Maeve Kerrigan series. Married to a barrister who is also a special constable, Jane has unique access to the world Maeve Kerrigan occupies, but how much can writers draw on the truth and how much do they make up? In Jane Casey's seventh novel to feature London-based police detective Maeve Kerrigan, Let the Dead Speak, an unusually na�ve 18-year-old, returns home from a weekend away to discover a bloodbath in the family home, all the signs point to the frenzied murder of Chloe's mother, Kate - except there is no body.
