About this ebook

Her eyes widened into saucers, eyebrows piling high on her forehead. Pointing a shivering finger at Callan, she thrashed out her legs and wriggled. ‘Him! It’s him! He attacked me!’

A cold case threatens to shatter Callan’s career.

Blaine Macgregor vanished on a summer’s night fifteen years ago. Now, Detective Inspector Callan Cameron is investigating his case one last time. But for Callan it means unearthing a bygone summer he’d rather forget.

Amateur sleuth Aileen Mackinnon overhears a guest’s puzzling conversation and can’t stop asking questions. Is she being duped again? With Callan refusing to open up about his case, Aileen needs a distraction. What better than a case of her own?

As Aileen and Callan balance on a thin rope of betrayal and trust, one question haunts them: Is Blaine still alive?

If books by Paul Austin Ardoin, Janet Evanovich and Jullian Scott keep you up all night, When Birds Fall Silent is the perfect puzzling mystery for you!
