It’s been so exciting to see stacks of The Silent House of Sleep by Allan Gaw in Waterstones shops up and down Scotland, as they promote it as Scottish Book of the Month. Thank you to all the booksellers helping to champion this fantastic book!

Start off your reading year with Dr Jack Cuthbert. Tall, urbane, brilliant but damaged, this Scottish pathologist who works with Scotland Yard is the best the new DCI has seen. But Cuthbert is a man who lives with secrets, and he still battles demons brought back from the trenches.

When not one but two corpses are discovered in a London park in 1929, Cuthbert must use every tool at his disposal to solve the mystery of their deaths. In the end, the horrifying truth is more shocking than even he could have imagined.

The Scotsman have already reviewed The Silent House of Sleep, saying ‘this murder mystery makes for compelling reading’, while Waterstones say ‘Gaw’s 1920s-set detective thriller finds a brilliant Scottish pathologist unearthing disturbing secrets’.

The book is currently available with a 10% discount on the Waterstones website.
