About this listen

Audible proudly presents LET THE DEAD SLEEP, narrated by Gemma Whelan (star of The Tower).

Twenty-five years ago, a killer dubbed the Richmond Ripper terrorised London, claiming four victims before vanishing without a trace. For crime reporter Holly Sullivan, it wasn't just another cold case - it was personal. Her sister Annabel was the killer's final victim.

Now, with her mother dying, Holly is running out of time to deliver the answers she desperately craves. But as she digs deeper into the past, someone is watching, and when Holly is targeted, it becomes clear that the killer is back, and he doesn't want to be found.

Caught in a deadly game of cat and mouse, Holly can trust no one - because someone in her inner circle is hiding the darkest secret of all. The more questions Holly asks, the more danger she is putting herself, and those she loves, in. But this is one story Holly is determined to tell, no matter what the cost to her.

From publishing sensation Michael Wood comes another thriller about buried secrets, obsession, and the lengths we'll go to protect the ones we love, even from beyond the grave.
