Whispers of Guilt by John Carson
Whispers of Guilt by John Carson (DCI James Craig #4)
English | 2024 | Mystery & Thriller
Forensic pathologist, Annie Keller visits her uncle, retired Judge William Keller, at his nursing Home. During a lucid moment, the dementia-stricken William makes a shocking claim: he knows the identity of a killer. Disturbed by this revelation, Annie confides in her friend, DCI James Craig.
Craig is skeptical but begins to investigate. Then a body is found, bearing a striking similarity to a murder described by William.
When questioned, William appears confused and denies any knowledge of a killer. The staff dismisses his earlier statement as dementia-induced ramblings.
Undeterred, Craig digs deeper into William’s past cases and connections. He uncovers a web of long-buried secrets, powerful enemies, and a decades-old unsolved murder. As the investigation progresses, Annie becomes a target, convinced that her uncle’s “delusion” holds a grain of truth.
With time running out and William’s memory fading fast, Craig and Annie race to unravel the mystery. They must separate fact from fiction, navigating through unreliable memories and hidden agendas to expose a killer who’s evaded justice for years.
