The silent room
(Book)

"A Thomas Dunne Book."

"Detective Sergeant Matthew Ryan wants to clear the name of his former boss, who stands accused of official corruption. But before he can do so, his boss disappears. Did he escape from police custody, or was he kidnapped? Or did something even worse happen to him? Suspended from duty on suspicion of aiding and abetting the audacious escape of his former boss, Ryan is locked out of the manhunt. Desperate to preserve his career and prove his innocence, he backs off. But when the official investigation falls apart, under surveillance and with his life in danger, Ryan goes dark, enlisting other fascinating but decidedly unofficial cohorts in his quest to discover the truth. Mari Hannah's The Silent Room has it all--truly memorable characters, a breakneck pace, and a gripping plot. In addition, it has heart. Add some truly scary villains and a loudly ticking clock, and it's clear that Hannah has penned an ingenious and lightning-fast thriller that will grip readers from the first pages and never let go."--Dust jacket.
