Silent Scream

Summary

The New York Times–bestselling author delivers "another classic . . . that will keep you on the edge of your seat until the truth is revealed" (Suspense Magazine).

A violent past leads to a present danger. When an old college roommate invites Claire Britten to join her on an archaeological dig at a Florida peat bog, it''s an offer the renowned forensic psychologist can''t refuse. Claire''s husband, criminal lawyer Nick Markwood, is comforted to see Claire working on a prehistoric burial site instead of an open grave for once. But Claire''s investigative instincts kick in when some of The Black Bog''s perfectly preserved corpses show signs of a grisly fate. What really happened to these people?

What started as an exploration of the past soon escalates into an all-too-current danger. Someone is watching—someone who really doesn''t want Claire digging into the past or Nick making connections to a current, violent murder case he''s investigating. The bog''s corpses may be long dead, but if Claire and Nick don''t figure out who''s gunning for a fresh kill, the next bodies to be discovered will be their own.
