"An original, well-written, and often demanding novel". -- Library Journal on Nazareth Hill "A visceral finale that will startle even the most jaded.

Sympathetic characters whose actions blur the boundaries between good and evil... contribute to the novel's complexity". -- Publishers Weekly (starred review) on Nazareth Hill "Shocking surprises, alarming horrors, and believable characters -- all expertly blended in a fresh, deft shocker". -- Kirkus Reviews on Nazareth Hill In The Last Voice They Hear, Campbell continues to focus on the family, as he did in The One Safe Place and Nazareth Hill.

For Campbell, the family can be a repository of great strength -- but it can also be the source of nightmare.

Geoff is a happily married man with a successful career as an investigative journalist and a new book to promote.

He's in the middle of a publicity tour when his past comes back with a vengeance.

A long-missing but never forgotten voice comes out of the phone, and Geoff is suddenly caught up in the most important investigation of his life.

Someone is killing happily married couples in the Windsor area, selecting them carefully, looking for the right combination of age and attitude, the right sort of family ties.

That someone just might be Geoff's brother Ben. "Ramsey Campbell is highly regarded for his sensitive use of the language and his ability to create psychologically complex characters". -- Dean Koontz "Menace has always been his keynote ...

His fiction (is) felt and experienced, and affect(s) the reader for days afterward". -- Peter Straub "Beautiful and terrifying ... Campbell is a powerful, original writer, and you owe it to yourself to make his acquaintance". --Washington Post Book World "Gripping. The climax is stunningly written. Nazareth Hill (is) a superb example of successful disturbing fiction". -- Book Page
