Here’s the set-up for R.P. Poe’s Silence, just $2.99 on Kindle:
When San Turner’s two aunts, his only family, die within a week of each other he’s unable to accept their passing as mere coincidence.
Recently fired from his job and guilt-ridden over the loss of his wife, he enlists his lifelong friend in a search for the truth behind the deaths. He soon finds himself on another sort of quest when a ten-year-old deaf girl who has befriended him is kidnapped from his home.
San follows a convoluted trail that eventually leads him to the girl and an unknown part of his family history, forcing him to face his past, his prejudices and an uncertain future.
From the reviewers:
R P Poe writes with such ease, he makes you want to sit by the fire and read his book all day. I highly recommend this story as a wonderful way to take you to that small town in Texas where you can visualize the landscape and start an intriguing tale of a man named Sam. – Linda
This is a wonderful read. Mr. Poe has captured the true flow of life in Texas and this book will be very hard for you to put down. I have read many books set in Texas and I can say this is the first book to exceed my expectations. A wonderful story with interesting characters set in actual places in Texas. You will not be disappointed. – Marshall S. Poe
R. P. Poe has done it again! This book is set in Texas, however, his handling of the mystery element, as well as the redemption element is universal. I think the author has a unique understanding of underlining human reactions of his characters and their situations. How he brings it all together is remarkable. I enjoyed this book immensely! I hope he keeps writing these good stories! – Priscilla
These books are great! I live in Texas, and Poe has captured the real Texas. His characters are just like people I know. We’re not all big hair and stupid politicians! I hope he keeps writing; I can’t wait for the next one! – “Native, also”
He is currently at work on a fourth novel, “Word in Stone”, a meditation on race, class and the past’s hold on the present. The story follows a young man’s struggle to find his way in a changing world while trying to come to terms with his father’s death.
