Splinter the Silence (Tony Hill and Carol Jordan #9) by Val McDermid

Description

Splinter the Silence is a novel centered on the mysterious deaths of several women who were the victims of vicious cyber-bullying.

Is it violence if its virtual? The outspoken women targeted by the increasingly cruel internet trolls and bullies would probably say so. For some of them, the torrents of bile and vicious threats prove too much. They begin to silence themselves in a series of high-profile suicides.

Or do they? Tony Hill isn’t convinced. But hes the only one. Former cop Carol Jordan is too busy messing up her life to care. Until she gets an unexpected second chance. Now its game on, and the stakes have never been higher.
