Well known for being a frequent critic of law enforcement, Grandchester's annoying propensity for injecting herself into any high-profile case in Southern California often brought with it the sort of media exposure Vas had only previously experienced while competing as an Olympic swimmer. So he's not sure if it's some sort of karmic revenge for dodging her repeated requests to sit for an exclusive interview about the murder of actor Rebecca McClure when Grandchester's body is found beneath a pallet of building supplies at an affordable housing construction site in the heart of the city. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDiscovering why the reporter was at the construction site reveals a missing trove of research Grandchester had compiled, preparation for a planned multipart exposé on a Rancho Linda real estate development firm long rumored to have questionable financial ties to the shadier countries of Eastern Europe.

As Vas digs through a tangled web of finance deals and the dark money backing them, it becomes clear Grandchester was silenced before she could publish a single word. And when clues begin to point to a killer capable of coldly calculating how targeted murder can benefit their bottom line, Vasily is forced to take questionable steps to protect everything he cares about in order to solve the case...\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Christopher Jansmann\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1960914332\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781960914330\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Ephram Cotte \u0026amp; Company, Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/14\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 316\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.93lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.71d","brand":"Christopher Jansmann","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48443180253439,"sku":"9781960914330","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6cb923db-f12d-4980-8393-0aa9e29b8500.jpg?v=1777202382","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/silenced-christopher-jansmann-9781960914330","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
