A Shot in the Silence

A “screenplay” in words. Destructive greed-fuelled betrayal and intrigue is set against the backdrop of the amazing Australian outback. A contrast of good and evil keeps the reader anxiously turning the page. A diverse cast of characters makes this “read” one that has the readers choosing decidedly their favourite character. A trail of twists and double cross lead the reader across the outback to Sydney and back again. A detective with justice on his mind is relentless in solving the case. His dedication sets an example to his team, and the “human” side of the law is revealed. Lynette Ashton is a top-notch storyteller who brings the mystical outback vividly to life in this enthralling crime story. A Shot in the Silence is a fresh, modern, suspenseful story, keeping the reader on edge until the last page.

Lynette Ashton

Lynette Ashton’s love of books began as a small child. Bedtime always included a story being read to her by her older sister. This developed a deep love of books. Lynette has a keen and lively interest in people, and this has led her into writing. Her observations are warmly transferred to her pages and her readers most often find a “character” they can relate to. She has travelled extensively overseas but her heart belongs to her beloved Australia and its wide brown outback. Her travels up the West Coast to the top of Australia have been her inspiration for this story.
