A Record of silence (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798261927730)

A quiet street.
A man who thought he was allowed.
A system that didn't notice-until someone died.

Detective Mara Ellison investigates a death that shouldn't have happened and a neighborhood that insists nothing was wrong. As the case unfolds, she uncovers something more dangerous than a single crime: a pattern of silence, unchecked access, and small warnings everyone learned to ignore.

When the legal case closes without justice, a second truth emerges-someone is still watching, still collecting, still protected by procedure. And stopping what comes next won't require heroics or arrests.

It will require a record.

A grounded, unsettling crime novel about early warning signs, institutional blind spots, and the quiet cost of waiting too long to speak up.
