Silent Terror

A remote home. A brutal crime. A team searching for answers.

In January 2013, Ursula Wakeley, a seventy-eight-year-old spinster and former librarian, was brutally murdered in her remote Wiltshire bungalow. Was the seventy-eight-year-old librarian the target of a bungled robbery, or did someone have darker motives? Gus Freeman and his newly strengthened Crime Review Team are determined to find out.

New recruit Blessing Umeh and returning investigator Alex Hardy join Gus in piecing together the fragments of the past. As secrets unravel, they must uncover what truly happened on that fateful night—or risk leaving Wakeley’s story untold.

Silent Terror, the next book in the Freeman Files series, is a gripping tale of persistence, redemption and the relentless pursuit of truth.

Ted Tayler is the international best-selling indie author of the Freeman Files and Phoenix series. Ted lives in the English West country, where his stories are based. He was born in 1945 and has been married to Lynne since 1971. They have three children and four grandchildren. His thought-provoking mysteries appeal to readers of Sally Rigby, Joy Ellis, Pauline Rowson, and Faith Martin. His action-packed thrillers are a must for fans of Mark Dawson and J C Ryan. Gus Freeman’s cold case investigations are carried out with reasoned deduction rather than bursts of frantic action. In each of the 24 books, unsolved murders are accompanied by romance, humour, and country life. The core message in the 12 Phoenix novels is that criminals should pay for their crimes. Unfortunately, the current system fails to deliver the correct punishment, so Phoenix helps redress the balance.
