Reuben Galindez was a star prosecution witness in the trial of big-time arms smuggler Angel Sanchez. He was promised a new identity, a new life, by the US Federal Witness Protection Program - he was promised safety.
But when his bullet-ridden corpse is discovered floating in a river, former state prosecutor Amanda Scholes has to ask some difficult questions. Did Galindez foolishly cut loose from those protecting him, or has the high security surrounding the Program been penetrated by someone intent upon exacting their own brutal form of justice?
'Silencer' is Campbell Armstrong's most compelling thriller to date, a dizzying descent into an underground world of corruption and vengeance, where anonymity is no protection.
