A Splintered Silence

By: Juliet Cromwell

Narrated by: Cathy Conneff

Gripping, atmospheric, and deeply moving, "A Splintered Silence" is a powerful tale of survival, redemption, and the bonds that surpass even death itself.

In the murky underbelly of the Spanish criminal world, a brutal battle rages for control of the cocaine trade. Caught in the crossfire is Joseph, a boy who's deaf and haunted by a strange gift - the ability to communicate with the dead. Torn from the only life he's known, Joseph's English mother, sends him on a perilous journey along the Camino de Santiago, to her estranged father, Fish - an ex-squaddie and Chief Warder of the Tower of London, a fortress, like Fish, steeped in history and dark secrets.

Joseph's arrival in this foreboding new world marks the beginning of an extraordinary journey. Far from the warmth of his Spanish home, he feels isolated and alone. But within the Tower's cold shadows, unexpected friendships blossom, as the Castle's ancient ghosts whisper long-buried truths, forging a bond with him that transcends his silent world.

As danger from Joseph's past closes in, Fish and his two best mates, both ex-forces, are compelled to set aside their preconceptions and step beyond their regimented lives as they confront not just physical danger but their own personal demons, too. Together, with Joseph's newfound allies, they step into a world where the lines between the living and the dead blur, where courage is found in the most unexpected places, and where, eventually, Joseph, at great cost, must find the answer to end this ruthless war.
