Silent Witness: A Laurel Highlands Mystery - Paperback

by Liz Milliron (Author)

Defense attorney Sally Castle already has her hands full with work and planning her upcoming wedding-which her mother is determined to turn into the event of the year-when she encounters a terrified and unsupervised young deaf girl alone in the state park. The girl's mother is soon found murdered, and Sally is drawn into caring for the child.

Sally's fiancé, State Trooper Jim Duncan, leads the murder investigation, but instead of working with his usual partner, he is breaking in a new investigator who seems intent on cutting corners. On top of that, he worries the demands of their wedding-planning may drive Sally past her breaking point.

Jim and Sally's worst fears are realized when the girl, the only witness to the murder, becomes the killer's next target. Now Sally must do whatever she can to protect the girl before she and the child become the next victims.
