A Whisper of Secrecy - Paperback

by Darcy Burke (Author)

When private investigator Matilda Wren is hired to investigate a household theft, she expects a routine inquiry, until the murder of a retired police inspector draws her into a far more personal mystery. The victim was found clutching a slip of paper bearing the name of Tilda's late father. As Tilda begins to unravel the connection, she finds herself confronting the very crime that first set her on the path to investigation: her father's murder.

Hadrian Becket, Earl of Ravenhurst, possesses the ability to glimpse memories through touch, which has proven most helpful as he's worked alongside Tilda on several cases. However, his power has vanished just when they need it most. Hadrian is desperate to regain his gift to aid Tilda in her quest to discover the truth before it's too late.

With powerful forces moving to keep the secrets of the past buried, Tilda must face a growing conspiracy with far-reaching roots. The closer she edges to the truth, the more dangerous her investigation becomes. And this time, the cost may be her own life.
