The Quiet Accomplice: A Gripping Psychological Crime Thriller
About this ebook
For twenty-eight years, Marianne Colt has kept the same secret: what really happened in the woods behind her family's property the night a man never came home. She built a marriage on it. A daughter on it. A quiet, respectable life in a town that never asked the right questions until now.
When construction crews unearth remains at the old Ashford Mill, Detective Wes Calloway arrives in Ravensbrook asking the questions everyone stopped asking years ago. He isn't looking for a witness. He's looking for an accomplice and something about the case feels personal in a way he won't explain.
As the investigation creeps closer to her front door, Marianne must protect the family she loves without becoming the woman she's spent her whole life trying to outrun. But the past doesn't stay buried and the people she trusts most may be the ones with the most to lose if the truth finally surfaces.
Told across a chilling dual timeline that collides in a final, devastating confrontation, The Quiet Accomplice is a slow-burn psychological thriller about the debts silence leaves behind and how far a good woman will go to keep from paying them.
