About this eBook

SILENCED  A Ryan—Hunter Mystery Thriller


She was digging into a past that was best left buried.

A trained killer is stalking those with the secret and those trying to uncover it. Early morning along the water’s edge he strikes like a jungle cat from the shadows. The dead woman is silenced. But is she? 

The investigation, already fraught with twists and turns, is thrown into chaos when her hidden life with the CIA is discovered. Criminology Professor Marin Ryan and John Hunter follow a loose thread that breaks the case wide open only to find that now they know too much.


John and Marin are reunited after seven years when they dock their boats alongside each other. Their mutual love of the sea nudges them into rekindled love. To make it more interesting, the Blue Water Marina proves to be a haven for wonderfully weird types; a lovable movie star with his old fishing boat that reminds him of his humbler beginnings; a young surgeon with a secret of his own; and let’s not forget Bailey, the beagle.

I made it to Chapter 27 before giving up.A There was nothing in the plot that compelled me to keep reading, so I forced myself to continue before giving up. There was no real dimension to the characters. The dialogue didn't ring true. Moved too slow to create any suspense.

An expert in International law, she is a professor and chair of the Criminology Department of a Southern California university. Her research and lecturing have taken her to Europe and Africa. As a visiting researcher at the United Nations in Geneva, she has worked with the historical documents of monarchs, governments, and business leaders within their archives. Her experience as a criminology professor led her to a second career of writing mystery novels.


Thomas Donahue, through his roles as an analyst, consultant, and manager for an international corporation, has been involved in projects that took him to locations as diverse as research ships, prisons, military bases, steel foundries, and nuclear facilities. His career experiences and extensive world traveling, along with his love for the ocean (boater, diver, and surfer) have informed his writing.
