The Silent Hour

Whisper Ridge, a multimillion-dollar architectural project that was to host a unique program for paroled murderers, was the passion of Alexandra Sanabria, the daughter of a deceased Mafia don. But the program never got off the ground. The abandoned home now remains as a strange monument to dangerous secrets, kept off the market with taxes paid by a legal trust that Sanabria established just before she and her husband left town. While the couple's abrupt exit was unique, it was also not regarded as criminal-until the bones of Alexandra's husband were found more than a decade later. Now, an ex-con who claims Alexandra's intervention saved his life wants private investigator Lincoln Perry to find her. Perry is less than thrilled. It is a task that will challenge both his abilities as a detective and his commitment to that calling.
