A turbulent rollercoaster ride that eventually comes to a well-deserved, emotionally satisfying end..."*** --*New York Times* and *USA Today* Bestselling Author Ana E Ross**** ****   ** * * * * ***...The suspense and the thrills keep you on the edge while the emotions tug at your heart."***** *--Reviewing Shelf (4 out of 5 stars)** ### 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.
