From the back cover: A quilt holds the secret to a killer still at large—and who his next victim will be.
Following an attack that killed her mother and stole her ability to speak, 21-year-old Sophia Montgomery has no choice but to accept her estranged grandmother’s offer to return to their family home. Although detective Julian Frazier is working hard on the case, Sophia unknowingly frustrates him because her inability to speak thwarts her eyewitness evidence. The fact that Julian is undeniably attracted to Sophia doesn’t help either, so Julian hides his feelings as concern for a trauma victim and focuses instead on finding the killer.
Little do they know, the clues to solving the case may be right in front of them, displayed in Sophia’s mother’s “special” quilt design. Who will realize the secret Sophia’s unwittingly been hiding in plain sight? When the truth comes to light, will Sophia find her voice again? Or will the murderer—still at large—silence her forever?
A Home invasion from Russian speaking terrorists that torture Sophie and, eventually, kill her mother. Now the trauma has left her speechless and she cannot use her hands because of the torture. The terrorists wanted something but what? The answer is in the quilt but no one knows that either. This is a suspense mystery thriller that will keep you flipping pages as the investigation kicks into high gear trying to find out just what in the world is going on. Ms. Caroll knows how to ignite the fuse and keep it burning all the way to the end without giving anything away. And on top of everything this is a romance.
