About this title

From the Back Cover:

Stunning."―Publishers Weekly (starred review)

Whisper Ridge is a multimillion-dollar piece of architectural majesty that once housed a unique program for paroled murderers. The program never got off the ground, however, despite the passion of Alexandra Cantrell, daughter of a notorious Mafia don, and her husband, Joshua. Twelve years later, the uninhabited house is in ruins. It remains a strange monument to dangerous secrets...until Joshua's bones are found buried deep in the forest.

"The inventive plot of The Silent Hour surprises right up to the end."―St. Petersburg Times

Private investigator Lincoln Perry isn't thrilled about having to unearth this enduring mystery―one that continues to capture the media's attention. His new client is no picnic either: Parker Harrison served fifteen years for murder but claims Alexandra Cantrell's intervention saved his life. Following a trail that leads straight to the heart of Cleveland's organized crime scene, Perry finds himself immersed in a case that challenges his abilities as a detective and his commitment to that calling. Now he's glancing over his shoulder at every turn―and pushing the bounds of safety even as he backs away...

"Michael Koryta is one of the best of the best...his Lincoln Perry is going to be around for a long, long time."―Michael Connelly
