The Price of Silence
About
Hung over from celebrating his newest bestselling book, Bartholomew Beck is in no mood to deal with a pesky reporter. Especially one who is sleeping with his co-author, working for his enemy, and taking great pleasure in letting Beck know that his days as a free man are numbered.
Beck's new foe is working for U.S. Representative Schuhmacher, who holds Beck responsible for the death of his son. But focusing on Beck leaves him vulnerable to his enemies, both political and personal.
Meanwhile, a clue from a twenty-year-old federal murder case drops in Beck’s lap. In solving the murder, might save himself.
Or seal his doom.
All he knows is that he’s not sure he can pay The Price of Silence.
Praise for this book
"Past secrets haunt a successful true-crime writer in Rick Treon's second installment in the Bartholomew Beck saga. Whether you find yourself rooting for Beck or condemning him, this twisty noir in which no one is truly innocent will keep you turning pages."
"Treon expertly renders the underbelly of Texas where no one is innocent and the only atonement is to expose the truth. Fast paced and intricate, (The Price of Silence) delivers surprises in every chapter. This one will keep you guessing into the middle of the night because you just can't stop turning the pages. An excellent read."
