Making a smashing debut within the Top Ten of the New York Times Bestseller list last year, Deborah Crombie’s THE SOUND OF BROKEN GLASS (William Morrow; February 25, 2014; ISBN: 9780061990649; $13.99) is now available in trade paperback, and has already been named an Indie Next Pick for March.

When a thirteen-year-old boy, the son of an alcoholic mother with few acquaintances, befriends his next door neighbor, a young widow, he feels—for the first time in his life—as if someone cares about his future.  The pair forms a special relationship, but one shocking act of betrayal causes the young woman to lose everything she’s worked so hard to accomplish and shatters the young boy’s innocence, changing both their lives forever.

Years later, Detective Inspector Gemma James has been assigned to lead a Murder Investigation Team and assisting her is newly promoted Detective Sergeant Melody Talbot.  They are called to a crime scene to find a well-respected barrister naked, trussed, and apparently strangled in a seedy hotel room.  And when a second victim, a junior barrister, is found murdered in the same way, Gemma and Melody fear they have a serial killer at work.

Meanwhile, Detective Superintendent Duncan Kincaid, Gemma’s husband, has taken leave from Scotland Yard to care for their three-year-old foster daughter, Charlotte.  Duncan has been following the investigation with increasing concern and when he realizes he has a personal connection with one of the suspects, he interviews the young man who admits recognizing the second victim, a childhood friend.  Duncan and Gemma now know the killings are not random, and that the young man may be the link between the victims.  Could he be the killer—or is he the next victim?

An ice storm traps detectives and suspects in the steep streets of Crystal Palace and only the revelation of the past can stop the killer, and only the young man holds the key. Will he face the truth in time?
