A Stain on the Silence

What if a childless man in his forties discovers that he has a daughter, the result of an affair twenty-five years earlier? What if the daughter is pregnant? And what if she's on the run for murder? James wasn't much more than a child when he had an affair with Lily. Now, 24 years later, Lily confesses to James that their affair led to a daughter, Kate. And Kate desperately needs her father's help, because she is wanted for murder. Yet there is no room for murder in James's life--he has a wife, a good job, and a nice house in the country. Kate comes crashing into his world, and lights the fuse under his ordered life. Because James has also been keeping a secret--a very dark and deadly one.A Stain on the Silence is Andrew Taylor at his suspenseful, page-turning best.
