( At first there were five identical murders, the bodies ...)
At first there were five identical murders, the bodies eviscerated and the organs playfully distributed around. Beverly Wharton had been sure that the guilty man was Melkior Pendred—an autistic and highly skilled mortuary assistant—but her colleague, Sergeant Homer, had always thought she had caught the wrong man and it was his twin, Martin, who was responsible. With Melkior dying in prison, a sixth, apparently identical murder gives Homer—now a chief inspector—the perfect chance to settle a few scores. Martin Pendred is arrested but then released on a technicality after the intervention of his solicitor, Helena Flemming. Then he disappears. Another murder occurs and the hunt for Martin Pendred becomes intense. Beverly Wharton—fearing for her career if it is shown Melkior Pendred was innocent— calls on John Eisenmenger to help her. He had been the pathologist on the original murders and soon spots slight differences of technique between present and past murders. And when a fellow pathologist is murdered, Eisenmenger begins to guess what is going on. Then Helena disappears, kidnapped by Martin Pendred, and while Eisenmenger desperately searches for her he discovers the final piece of evidence that reveals just who is behind the latest murders.

It is South London, UK, in the middle of the 1970s. The summer is long and hot and in Thornton Heath - a quite little suburb - little of note happens. When Charlie Daniels is found dead on his gardening allotment, it appears to be natural causes, but local doctor Lance Elliot isn't so sure. He has questions, such as just how did his patient Wilhelmina Wylie know about the death so quickly when she is housebound and her house is far from the site of the death? And then he discovers that the Thornton Heath Horticultural Society is not as tranquil is at it at first appears, for there are secrets and hidden jealousies. The scathing Inspector Masson doesn't welcome Lance's intervention, but the deaths keep happening around him, and he is inevitably drawn in. He little realises, though, that he is placing those close to him in danger.

In rural England, a young male body is washed up from a river: forensic examination reveals he has been abused and murdered. The accidental discovery that a reclusive maths tutor who lives in the nearby village of Rendcomb is actually a convicted paedophile leads the police, led by a downtrodden Inspector Sauerwine, to take a close interest. When five decaying bodies are found down a well in his garden, the obvious conclusions are drawn and the man is arrested. Helena Flemming is called in as his solicitor, but she is already busy on another case and asks Dr John Eisenmenger to stand in for her. Once in Rendcomb, Eisenmenger discovers there is a much wider problem, more grotesque than he could have imagined. It seems the small village is not so idyllic as it would appear on the surface and dark secrets reside where you would least expect them. Helena, meanwhile, is also confronting some unexpected dangers of her own, as witnesses willing to testify for her violent client prove elusive. With an elderly cleaning lady, Mrs Christmas, as his guide, and a firm belief that the maths tutor is not a murderer, Eisenmenger begins to unpick the Rendcomb case, but doing so quickly becomes fraught with peril and his safety cannot be guaranteed... The Rest is Silence is a gripping forensic thriller that balances intriguing characters with an unpredictable plot and medical precision. Praise for Keith McCarthy: ‘Pathologist McCarthy creates a dark, densely imagined world in the demanding tradition of P. D. James … he peoples it with characters who truly inspire pity and terror, and provides the most unsparing post-mortem ever.’ - Kirkus Reviews ‘A whodunit in the classical mould mixes the story of a man coping with the scars of his past and the wounds of the present … McCarthy handles his material with real brio.’ - Crime Time Keith McCarthy was born in Croydon, Surrey. Educated at Dulwich College and then at St George’s Hospital Medical School, he began practising pathology in 1985 and has done so ever since. Keith is a Consultant Histopathologist in Gloucestershire where he lives with his wife and three daughters.

“Will appeal to fans of John Harvey’s crime novels” Library Journal - Arthur Meadows has just returned home from a trip to south-west Europe, supposedly bringing back a consignment of cloth, but actually bringing back something far more deadly. Meanwhile, a young Asian couple are murdered in their small house in Gloucester, the killings done with ruthless efficiency. Beverley Wharton, now Chief Inspector, does not relish the investigation of the murders: partly due to the choice of pathologist, Charles Sydenham. She would have preferred John Eisenmenger, but he has his own problems trying to work out why Arthur Meadows died so unexpectedly . . .

( Mark Hartmann, a consultant pathologist, is married to ...)
Mark Hartmann, a consultant pathologist, is married to a barrister and the son-in-law of a judge. His secret vice is compulsive gambling, and mounting debts are starting to threaten his marriage. When he is asked to perform an autopsy on Millicent Sweet, a laboratory assistant, it seems a case like any other. Sweet was only twenty-two when she died of cancer. His initial findings are anything but typical, though, for she appears to have died of several different, aggressive tumors. Before he can discuss this with his colleagues, he is called away to a conference in Scotland, where he ends up sleeping with one of the sales reps. This action results in blackmail by a pharmaceutical company, which has videoed Hartmann’s excesses. They threaten to send the video to Hartmann’s wife—unless he falsifies his report on Sweet’s death. But they are not the only people interested in this. Millicent's father, convinced his daughter’s death is the result of a laboratory accident, has contacted lawyer Helena Flemming. When Helena’s partner, John Eisenmenger, a forensic pathologist, looks into the case, he not only uncovers Hartmann’s original autopsy and subsequent deception, but is launched into the perilous midst of an even greater lie.

Forensic science and law enforcement do not prove to share the same conclusions in this darkly plotted debut novel by Keith McCarthy, himself a practicing pathologist. His suspenseful and ingeniously twisted tale opens inside the walls of the venerable St. Benjamin’s Museum of Pathology, where any death would send shock waves through the academic community. But the death of Nikki Exner is far from ordinary. Not only raped and murdered, she has been grotesquely executed. That the museum employs a formerly convicted rapist and drug addict, Tim Bilroth, leads the police easily to their prime suspect, and Bilroth’s suicide while in their custody serves only to confirm his guilt. But Helena Flemming, the Bilroth family’s solicitor, is not so sure, and to help her determine Tim’s innocence, she calls upon former crack forensic pathologist John Eisenmenger. He performs a second autopsy on the victim’s drawn-and-quartered body, and his findings stand almost completely at odds with the police department’s medical examiner. As Eisenmenger and Flemming set out to discover who really killed Nikki Exner, they uncover a trail littered with drugs, blackmail, sexual favors, and suspects, and they fear that they and the police may not be on the same side.
