In the beginning of BROKEN SILENCE, six year old Lana is in
the hospital after her parents were shot to death and
burned in their car. The little girl won't speak, and is
quite traumatized. Her mother's 'nurse' is in control of
Lana's 6 month old sister; and has warned her to keep her
mouth shut or her sister will be hurt.
Assistant State Attorney Daphne Montgomery is on medical
leave after being kidnapped, and then rescued by Baltimore
Special Agent Joseph Carter. When a friend who is involved
in 'equine therapy' ropes Daphne in to help bring Lana out
of her shell; she discovers a tragic mystery to be solved.
Seems Lana's parents had been quite rich, and the motive
was to kill them for some very expensive jewelry that the
killers now can't find; but think that Lana knows where it
is hidden.
BROKEN SILENCE is a haunting, intriguing story. It is
basically an epilog to Daphne and Joseph's story from Did
You Miss Me? (Romantic Suspense, #14); but for such a
short story, Karen Rose wrote a satisfying and well-rounded
novella. My only real complaint was that I probably would
have enjoyed the story more had I read their book. There
were too many things thrown at the reader that tied the
story too tightly to Did You Miss Me to be a true
standalone read.

From the #1 international bestselling author of Watch Your
Back comes a suspenseful new novella featuring Assistant
State's Attorney Daphne Montgomery and Baltimore Special
Agent Joseph Carter.
After a traumatic kidnapping, Daphne's boss insists that
she take time off. But she refuses to sit on the sidelines
when she meets a six–year–old girl who the
police call Angel. Angel hasn't spoken a word since they
found her four days ago next to a burned out car, frozen
with shock, not far from the bodies of two adults who may or
may not have been her parents.
Joseph knows that helping Angel is exactly what Daphne
needs right now. But when Daphne gets Angel to talk, a
mysterious and chilling crime begins to unravel—one
that drives Daphne into the darkest corners of her past as
she and Joseph track a ruthless killer.
