The silence in this small Texas town is shattered after
three murders occur in four days. Liliana Rodriguez and
Cody Jackson team up to find the killer, or killers.
Liliana is a police detective with the Durango, Texas,
police department. Cody is a Texas Ranger and has just
relocated from Houston with his son. He is trying to build
a new life here. Cody isn't even officially on the job when
the first murder occurs, but he is drawn into the
investigation.
The three murders do not have the same MO, but all their
leads seem to tie them together. Liliana and Cody discover
that all of the deceased are illegal immigrants from
Mexico. As they are investigating these murders, they
stumble upon another crime that could be tied in with the
murders. Some caves are discovered where outlaws are
smuggling guns through them and under the Rio Grande into
Mexico. Their sting only yields the smugglers, not the
higher-ups who are running the smuggling ring. Now Liliana
and Cody have another case to solve.
Things get really dicey two weeks later when a fourth
murder occurs, right on the front porch of the victim with
Liliana and Cody standing there. This seems to be the work
of a sniper, matching the MO of the third murder.
Furthermore, both characters are challenged with trying to
do their job while having to deal with crises that are
happening in their personal lives and separating those
crises from their professional life. Could their lives get
any more complicated?
This delightful story is full of suspense and filled with a
plethora of characters: good guys, bad guys and some that
you are just not sure where they fall. Margaret
Daley gives us a great inspirational with endearing
main characters who add a little romance to the mix as
well. She brings in social injustices that some of the
characters are dealing with and develops those topics in a
very sensitive and informative way. SHATTERED SILENCE is
the second book in the Men of the Texas Rangers series.
It's an excellent novel and I would highly recommend it to
anyone who enjoys some good inspirational suspense.
A serial killer is targeting illegal aliens in southern
Texas. Texas Ranger Cody Jackson is paired with a local
police officer, Liliana Rodriguez, to investigate the murders.
While the case brings Cody and Liliana ever closer, the
tension between Americans and Mexican Americans heightens.
As Cody and Liliana race to discover who is behind the
murders and bring peace to the area, what they uncover isn't
what they expected. Will Cody and Liliana's faith and love
be strong enough to survive the storm of violence?
