            Silent Fear

            Picture
            Coming soon, in February 2012 - Katherine's fifth novel featuring Detective Ella Marconi.

            The story opens on a baking hot day three weeks before Christmas when paramedics Holly and Joe are called to a man collapsed in a riverside park in the Sydney suburb of Earlwood. To Holly’s horror one of the friends standing around the patient is her estranged brother Seth, and when she discovers that the victim was actually shot she can’t help but think Seth is somehow involved. Once the victim is declared dead at hospital, Detective Ella Marconi is quickly on the case, and she soon finds that neither sibling is keen on telling her much, the dead man’s wife is a bit too helpful, and there’s something odd going on with his former boss as well.
