Silence in Room Nine

A mother in a coma. A father in prison. And a seventeen-year-old son hailed as a hero. To the outside world, Elias Montgomery is a gifted, sensitive teenager who witnessed his estranged father brutally attack his mother. His testimony put the high-powered attorney behind bars and turned the Montgomery family tragedy into a media sensation. But as Detective Leena Graves digs deeper, Elias's story begins to fray at the edges.
Why was the back door unlocked? What secrets are hidden in his mother's private journals? And what is the significance of Room Nine-the converted storage room that has become Elias's private, locked sanctuary?Buried beneath a lifetime of emotional manipulation and suffocating expectations, the truth is far more twisted than anyone imagines. In this house of secrets and silence, memory is a weapon, and the line between victim and monster is razor-thin.
For some, the silence is designed to hide a scream.
