Some cases can be neatly closed; others go quiet. For those left behind, there is no answer to the question that wakes them at three in the morning, only a door that never quite shuts. A New Jersey summer camp, a Scottish highway, a Los Angeles courtroom and a Norfolk saltmarsh all hold crimes that never went away. Clear an evening for reading these. You won't regret it.

Trouble travels well beyond the city limits. In small towns and villages, everyone knows everyone, which is exactly why the truth is so hard to find. Neighbours close ranks, old loyalties run deep and a stranger asking questions is noticed before he has finished his first cup of tea. A bleak Hebridean beach, a Yorkshire country road, a faded American industrial town and a quiet village all keep their secrets close. Lock the door and lose yourself!

Peter May, The Blackhouse - Edinburgh detective Fin Macleod returns home to Lewis to catch a killer and face the past he fled.

Peter Robinson, Careless Love - Two deaths, no phones, and Alan Banks in his element among the moors and lanes of rural Yorkshire.

David Baldacci, The Fallen - Amos Decker, who forgets nothing, came to Baronville for a quiet family visit and walked into a double murder.

Mick Herron, Dead Lions - A dying spy’s one-word text sends River Cartwright undercover in a quiet village, with Jackson Lamb magnificently rude throughout.
