In the Name of Silence

Book Two: Roger and Bess Mysteries

By: M. Lee Prescott

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

“There is much to enjoy armchair sleuthing among the old and new characters who people this high spirited sequel to the Quaker school series debut title A Friend of Silence. Whodunit? Mum's the word...”

A shocking murder on the eve of a wedding sends Roger Demaris, and his elite homicide team to the village of Old Harbor where the son of the village’s wealthiest citizen is found dead in the woods, an arrow through his heart.

No hunting accident, Demaris’ team pursues a ruthless killer as they delve into the victim’s past and what lies beneath the silence of the small village and Quaker school at its center. Six weeks away from marriage to Bess Dore, a local teacher and old flame of Demaris, the victim left a string of women who loved him, and a village who mourn their popular, generous citizen. What hides behind a name? Join the team of Roger, Greta, Pete, Brendan, and Bess as they get closer and closer to a ruthless killer.

“I love the characters. Especially Roger Demaris. [as he changes] from being a pig headed jerk to a understanding man. Still has his quirks but I like him. Bess is a saint for loving him. I hope there will be more to come for these two.”
