    ‘That rare unplug-the-phone, skip-all-meals, ignore-your-bedtime thriller.’ GILLIAN FLYNN Detective Inspector Hazel Micallef is making her way towards retirement after keeping the peace in the sleepy town of Port Dundas for many years. But when a local woman is found murdered – her mouth gruesomely shaped into a silent cry – Hazel and her department are faced with their biggest case yet. They soon discover that this is not the first time a body has been found in this way, and it is unlikely to be the last. The Calling is soon to be a major film starring Susan Sarandon, Topher Grace and Donald Sutherland. ‘A stunning serial killer chiller – dark, surprising and utterly compelling’ MO HAYDER
