From bestselling author Peggy Webb comes Silent Bones, the exciting prequel to No One to Hear Them Scream: Alice and Dudley Thriller.

“You took everything from him… Now, I’m going to take everything from you.”

Twenty-five years before Dudley Stephens ended up a quiet neighborhood next door to the reclusive Alice Logan and her Search and Rescue dog, he was Detective Dudley Stephens of the Memphis Police Department. He had it all: a beautiful wife and two daughters, a home, and a younger partner on the homicide squad who always had his back… until his latest case threatened to take away everything he loved.

As Dudley and his partner search for the ruthless criminal who left behind a grisly murder scene without a body, a fire in a posh section on the other side of Memphis destroys the house and leaves another mystery to be solved.

As the intertwining cases become more personal than he would ever have imagined, Dudley is tested in every way possible for a cop and a man. This is the case that can destroy him or make him stronger. But,
which will it be?

“She stood still among the trees, listening to the secrets of the river. They came to Alice in bursts of color and sound. Blood red, staining the water, screams suddenly silenced.”

Alice lives a quiet life in smalltown Mississippi where she keeps books for local doctors and tries to keep out of reach of her nosey neighbors, retirees Dudley next door, and circus performer Madeline in the gaudy house across the street. Her only companion is Thunder, her search and rescue dog.

They find the lost. Most recently, a child taken by a depraved maniac known as the Chameleon.

Now another child is missing, not just any child, but one closer than she would ever have imagined, a little girl who draws her back into the life she thought she’d left behind.

Even worse, the case is high profile. The victim is the granddaughter of a Senator. As Alice searches for the child, she becomes the target of a heartless killer.

Can one woman and her remarkable dog survive long enough to save the children? Can she ever forgive her past and love again?
