About Lightning Strikes the Silence: A Lane Winslow Mystery:

Beginning with a bang, the latest mystery in the Lane Winslow Mystery series is a study in bygone promises and lingering prejudice.

A warm June afternoon in King’s Cove is interrupted by an explosion. Following the sound, Lane goes to investigate. Up a steep path she discovers a secluded cabin and, hiding nearby, a young Japanese girl injured and mute, but very much alive . . .

Presented in partnership with Words Worth Books in celebration of 40 years.
