Silent City

In the dark heart of Miami's underworld, a man's quest for redemption collides with a deadly criminal conspiracy in a harrowing novel of suspense by the award-winning author of Secret Identity. Miami sports editor Pete Fernandez's life is falling apart. He's reeling from his father's death, still in love with an unfaithful ex, and drowning himself in booze and regret. Then comes the curious request from the father of missing crime reporter Kathy Bentley: Find his daughter. Playing detective and out of his element, Pete is dragged into something more sinister than he agreed to. Kathy was investigating a notorious urban legend called the Silent Death, a phantom assassin who has haunted the dark streets of Miami for years. As Pete begins investigating, he reconnects with a childhood friend turned ex-con and stumbles into a conspiracy that only deepens when more bodies pile up. What started as a simple favor is now a race against time to stop a killer who's one step ahead of him. It's a violent wake-up call. But redemption comes with a price, because Pete has no idea how much more he has to lose. Revised edition: This edition of Silent City contains editorial revisions.
