Descriere

Cam Ambrose breaks people. A member of the NYPD Gang Squad, she’s spent her career in a head-on battle with the nastiest criminals the city has to offer. Teaming up with her adopted brother and best friend Dimi, Cam has spent the last decade extracting secrets and delivering justice, unaware of the lies lurking within her own family. When her husband Tony is killed, Cam learns just how little she truly knew him.
Determined to understand her husband’s double life, Cam finds herself back in Silver City, Texas, face to face with truths she never wanted to uncover. With the help of her reclusive neighbor, Eric Morgan, Cam learns the mysteries went deeper than she imagined. Tony’s mistress is the last person Cam wants to meet, but the woman’s relentless pursuit and insistence that only she can help Cam’s family force her into contact with her. In the midst of dealing with her own grief, uncovering a secret powerful legacy, and learning her uncle’s death was far from natural causes, she finds that Tony had another talent – communicating with the dead. And now his five-year-old daughter Samantha may be communicating with him. Thrown into an underworld of the supernatural Cam never knew was there, she struggles to protect her daughter from spirits Cam can neither see nor hear, reaching ever deeper into the unexplained.
Hostile ghosts, long-dead sailors, and a madman willing to do anything to bring back his own family push Cam over the edge, and she ends up in the place she fears the most: on a deep, nighttime dive into the depths of an unforgiving ocean. Surrounded by predators both corporeal and ethereal, Cam must solve a decades old mystery to keep her family safe from an obsessed killer, and the hauntings that destroyed so many lives, knowing that no matter what happens, things will never be the same. Some ghosts just won’t die.

Recenzii

'Silent Key is one hell of a read. In this masterful melding of multiple genres, Hightower weaves mystery and espionage into a stellar twist on the ghost story. This book deserves to make it into every airport bookshop and supermarket spinner rack. Laurel Hightower is one to watch!'

'Leave it to Laurel Hightower to skillfully blend crime, heart and horror with the deftness of an artisan at the top of their game. A hard-boiled thriller from start to finish with a killer ending. Do not miss this one.'
'I’m convinced that everything Hightower writes is designed to emotionally destroy readers, and Silent Key is no exception. This book is a harrowing character study wrapped in a paranormal mystery that’s guaranteed to have you desperate (and afraid) to turn the page.'
'Intense. Terrifying. Heartfelt. With Silent Key, Laurel Hightower perfects her unique blend of ghostly horror with the technical prowess of a crime thriller. This novel will pull you into its depths and drown you in its mystery. Don't miss it.'
'Paranormal horror rolls like waves through a heart wrenching ocean of grief, loss, and the bonds of family as Hightower examines the lengths we'll go to save the ones we love most. Creepy dread permeates Silent Key which expertly blends history, romance, and mystery all the while delivering a story that will drag you into the deepest abyss and leave you breathless.'
"Silent Key is a great mash-up of different genres, full of well-drawn characters, dropped into a fast-moving plot with some thrills and spills and a fair dose of frights ranging from feelings of dread and unease to full blown jump scares. You have been warned."

"Silent Key, being primarily a horror and supernatural story, has sturdy elements of a police detective and crime story and even some elements of historical espionage, which work wonderfully together. On top of that, reading it was almost like watching a film in book form."

"A great ghost tale [with] aspects of a thriller and crime story."

"Laurel Hightower remains consistent in her ability to really weave horror in with motherhood, grief, and humanity, creating compelling characters facing supernatural threats with a particular kind of strength."

"A chilling ghost story."

"Part police procedural, part mystery, and part paranormal horror, this book is sure to hook readers right from the start, pulling them deeper and deeper as things progress. Readers that enjoy tales that slowly unravel while the action picks up are going to love this."

"Hightower’s skill at portraying strong female heroines who don’t give up without a fight is on full display here. Fans who have enjoyed Hightower’s previous books will enjoy this one."

"Thoroughly absorbing. This is not just a supernatural tale – there is mystery combined with thriller and horror elements. If, like me, you delight in a compellingly gripping ghost story, you will not want to miss this one!"

"A highly readable and enjoyable horror novel which was dreamed up by an incredibly fertile imagination."

"‘Silent Key’ features a melding of several genres that Laurel Hightower wields deftly and confidently, ultimately giving us readers one of the more solid ‘paranormal-mystery-thrillers’ I’ve read in some time."

"An outstanding genre-bender." / one of Tony Jones' top horror novels of 2023
