Randall Peffer

Listen to the Dead

Inspired by one of the largest unsolved cases of serial killings in the United States, the New Bedford Serial Killings of 1988.

Harbormaster Corby Church finds the bones of a human body on Bird Island off Cape Cod. As brassy, young police detective Yemanja Colon struggles with the case, she realizes that Church may know more than he’s letting on, and a trip he took to the Bahamas in the ’80s may prove the key.

Praise for Listen to the Dead

“Based on a real-life serial-murder case in New Bedford, Massachusetts, the novel is a surefire winner, with a gripping story, well-drawn characters, and an unusual setting. Peffer is a very talented writer, and readers advisors should recommend him aggressively to mystery readers of all stripes, particularly those who enjoyed the late William Tapply’s Brady Coyne series.” – Booklist
