An Act of Silence
Colette McBeth
An Act of Silence was shortlisted for the CWA Ian Fleming Steel Dagger Award 2018. Politician Linda Moscow sacrificed everything to protect her son: her beliefs, her career, her marriage. All she wanted was to keep him safe. When the voices she silenced come back to haunt her, Linda is faced with another impossible choice. Only this time, it's her life on the line. An Act of Silence is about the abuse of power, the devastating effects of keeping the truth buried, and the lengths a mother will go to save her child.
