The Silenced Witness

The Silenced Witness

When Pablo Riccardio betrays the powerful Bellos crime family to save his teenage son, he believes witness protection will give his family a second chance. Instead, on the moors outside Manchester, their safe house becomes the stage for a brutal disappearance and a mystery that shakes the very foundations of the Protected Persons Service.

Now forensic scientist Dr. Joe Wood and ex-reporter turned private investigator Mike Diggle are drawn into a case that pits them against vengeful mafia families, corrupt officials, and the dark secrets of Saddleworth Moor. Every clue points to betrayal from within, but the closer they get, the more they realise someone powerful wants the truth buried, along with them.

From mafia boardrooms in London to the windswept peat of Saddleworth Moor, loyalties fracture, whispers of betrayal spread, and a relentless hunter closes in. To uncover the truth, Joe and Mike must navigate a labyrinth of corrupted justice, hidden tunnels, and blood-stained legacies.

Perfect for fans of Martina Cole, Michael Connelly, and M.W. Craven, The Silenced Witness is a pulse-pounding thriller where loyalty is fragile, silence is deadly, and no one is safe.
