What if your mother died investigating a murder no one else believed happened?

Years ago, Riley Dare walked away from a rising journalism career and a mother whose death still haunts every corner of her memory. But when a leak exposes a buried scandal in her hometown of Briar’s Hollow—a place where grief is policy and silence is power—Riley is pulled back into a place that never forgave her… and never forgot her.

As whispers turn into war cries, long-buried secrets rise from the ashes: a school project masking psychological experiments, a missing girl presumed dead who may never have left, and a generation of survivors marked by trauma no one wanted to name.

In the ruins of the Cutter Protocol, Riley uncovers more than a conspiracy—she uncovers herself. But exposing the truth comes with a cost. And someone is still watching, ready to make sure the past stays buried.

Because in Briar’s Hollow, the quietest scream is the one they fear the most.

🔥 The Quietest Scream is Book One in the Dead Quiet series, where journalist Riley Dare investigates the cold cases no one will touch—small towns, buried crimes, and secrets that scream beneath the surface.

For fans of psychological suspense, slow-burn thrillers, and fiction that cuts deep—this is the beginning of a reckoning.
