Verdict of Silent Water

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Verdict of Silent Water is an electrifying legal thriller where buried secrets refuse to stay submerged.

When legendary federal prosecutor Tom Alden is lured out of retirement, it isn’t for prestige or politics—it’s to defend Caleb Mercer, the decorated war hero who once saved his life. Caleb stands accused of a brutal murder, and every shred of evidence screams guilty. But as Tom peels back the case, he uncovers a multi-million-dollar corruption scheme, a hired killer, and a conspiracy that reaches the halls of Congress.

The deeper Tom digs, the closer he comes to a night forty years earlier on a moonlit Carolina lake—a night whose silent waters still hold a boy’s death and a promise sealed in fear. To save his friend, Tom must expose that secret in a courtroom primed to destroy them both.

Gripping courtroom drama meets high-stakes conspiracy, wrapped in haunting questions of loyalty, justice, and the price of silence. Fans of Scott Turow, John Grisham, and Michael Connelly will race through the twists to a verdict they’ll never see coming.
