The Mercy of Silence

Haunted by her sister’s death in a botched pediatric surgery, disgraced former detective turned investigator Elara Voss follows an anonymous letter to the isolated mountain hamlet of Glendornoch. There, an ancient stone court still delivers its own savage justice to outsiders who pry too deeply. As childhood wounds bleed into a landscape ruled by ritual and omertà, Elara discovers that the seeds of trauma planted in the operating theatre have bloomed into a harvest of complicity—and she is its next offering.
