THE OTHER SIDE OF SILENCE

The vast emptiness and eerie silence of Death Valley give Nick Fallon the serenity he loves. It’s the one place where he truly belongs. Three days into his two-week vacation there he comes upon the almost-dead body of a young woman. Casey Dunbar’s problems have overcome her desire to live. Fallon’s rescue sets him on a path to unravel her twisted and dangerous past. To follow this path, he is forced into “the other side of silence”—glitzy Las Vegas and bustling San Diego. Narrator Nick Sullivan delivers a crisp, clear narration filled with an assortment of shady characters. His comfortable cadence and distinctive vocal range make this an enjoyable listen, even if the contrivances of the plot distract from time to time.
