Conspiracy of Silence

Read Conspiracy of Silence Storyline:

Boston executive Nina Kasai has been living a lie since her days as a student at Stanford University. But she’s about to learn that some secrets are too big to stay buried.

Years ago, Nina fled her affluent suburban home and vowed never to return. The horrifying truth has been locked away in her hidden diary, and in the mind of a disturbed woman who will never tell, ever. However, the perfect life she created is about to come crashing down when Phillip Copeland —a ghost from her past with secrets of his own, makes Nina an offer she can’t refuse: her silence in exchange for his.

Soon, it all goes horribly wrong as Nina’s suspicious husband threatens to end their marriage, a shocking double-cross sends her reeling, and a devastating loss threatens to push her over the edge. To make matters worse, her diary, the only link to her secret past has been stolen.

To reclaim her life and bring this twisted game to its stunning conclusion, Nina must confront the past she’s been running from, and find the courage to make a life-altering decision that leaves multiple casualties in its wake.

### From the Author

A blogger said to me in an interview that *Conspiracy of Silence* seems to be a woman in jeopardy story. While that assessment is partially accurate, it's certainly not the whole story because there are so many layers to this protagonist who refuses to back down in the face of overwhelming odds. The challenge in writing a psychological suspense novel that tackles a difficult subject is keeping the characters and plot realistic, while offering a fresh perspective or providing an unexpected outcome.

I tend to gravitate towards writing alpha female characters who have it all and seem to be in total control, then completely rip their lives apart, exposing their secrets and vulnerabilities. The fun is figuring out how they come back from events and circumstances meant to take them down for the count. In my next novel *The Swan Betrayal*, my protagonist Dr. Shelby Cooper is forced to do the unthinkable to protect her family, while being tormented by a vicious killer who seems to know all her secrets and weaknesses.
