Her whole life is based on a lie. And someone wants to make sure she never learns the truth.
On a sunny day in July, journalist Clare Prentice arrives in Grand Rapids, Minnesota. A writer for a literary magazine, Clare is on assignment to interview the town's notoriously reclusive novelist, Nate Hansen. But Clare is really in search of a different story-her story.
Just months before, Clare was a bride-to-be, living in Chicago, and looking to the future... until the day she learned her entire life had been a lie. Not only does Clare learn that she was adopted, but she soon discovers that there is no record that she or her adoptive mother ever existed. The only clue to her adoptive mother's real identity is a class ring from Grand Rapids Senior High School. Unable to get on with her future until she reconciles her past, Clare breaks off her engagement.
Unraveling the mystery is like trying to sculpt fog-until the first piece of the puzzle unexpectedly drops into place: Clare's birth mother, Lily Gundersen, was murdered in Grand Rapids. Although Lily's unsolved murder was one of the most talked-about events in the town's history, no one is talking now.
Amidst the deafening silence, Clare forges ahead on a quest to find out who she is and what really happened to her mother. No one may be talking, but someone is watching... watching Clare's every move. Because someone will stop at no end to make sure Clare never learns the truth-or else Clare's tragic family history might have to repeat itself.
A distinctive page turner from one of the country's leading thriller writers, Conspiracy of Silence is a rich and suspenseful tale about one young woman courageously piecing together a life shattered by lies and confronting the terrifying consequences of learning the truth.
