When Silence Falls

By Shirlee McCoy

Life was busy and organized, just the way Lakeview music history professor Piper Sinclair liked it.

Some recent family research even meant a new book to write. Until she witnessed an attempted kidnapping--and became a target herself. Someone wanted her out of the way permanently. Someone who seemed to know her all too well...

His expertise as a former crime scene photographer left Cade Macalister with memories he couldn't shake. Encountering Piper at the crime scene brought a different set to mind--his friend's little sister had certainly grown up well, and she couldn't take on this mysterious assailant alone.

Of course, convincing Piper of that would be the only way to solve this dangerous riddle...and keep her alive.
