Into the Silence by Sarah Pinborough

The novel “Into the Silence” by Sarah Pinborough was published for the first time in 2009.

A singer from a choir rehearsing in a church is brutally killed. The attack left his corpse without his vocal cords, which were removed with considerable surgical skills. The other members of the choir are in shock. DI Tom Cutler passes the investigation to Torchwood and it’s not the first time he has worked with them.

That murder is only the first and the murderer seems to be tied to a certain modus operandi in his actions. Cardiff hosts the Welsh Amateur Operatic Contest and this means that there are a lot of singers in the city, all potential victims for the murderer. To find him before he kills who knows how many people, a normal investigation is not enough.
