THE SILENT HOUR

Narrator Scott Brick can make even the most mundane story exciting, which is why it's such a pleasure when he starts with a strong novel. Brick performs THE SILENT HOUR, which features P.I. Lincoln Perry, who is shanghaied into solving an old murder. The sense of urgency and depth of passion that Brick adds to the story create an atmosphere of palpable tension. The book dramatizes the theme of redemption as the daughter of a criminal tries to prove that convicted killers can be rehabilitated by a return to nature and hard work. But when the woman's husband is murdered, everything falls apart. It's left to Perry to put the pieces back together and solve the mystery.
