Description
Silence for the Dead by Simone St. James is set in 1919 at Portis House, a remote hospital for soldiers struggling with the aftermath of the Great War. Kitty Weekes, a young and resourceful woman, takes a nursing position at the hospital despite falsifying her background. As she settles into her new role, she begins to uncover strange occurrences - eerie noises, unexplained cold drafts, and crumbling plaster. The patients at Portis House are plagued by nightmares, which they dare not speak of. Kitty finds an unlikely ally in Jack Yates, a patient who may be a war hero or a madman. Together, they form a secret alliance to uncover the truth behind the hospital's mysterious past and the sinister forces that seem to be at work. As they dig deeper, they become increasingly isolated and vulnerable to the menace that surrounds them. With each new revelation, their situation grows more desperate, threatening to destroy them both.
