SILENT FEAR novel advance review copy offer
Greetings
We have a new crime-thriller novel (with shades of horror and sci-fi) that is dedicated to the many millions of Deaf people around the world. Titled SILENT FEAR (A novel inspired by true crimes). It’s available now via Amazon.
SILENT FEAR is the latest novel by New Zealand father-and-son writing team Lance & James Morcan, authors of seven other published novels including THE NINTH ORPHAN, WHITE SPIRIT and INTO THE AMERICAS.
It was written with the assistance of Brent Macpherson, one of the world’s leading Deaf storytellers working in film, television and other creative mediums, who educated us on the unique challenges facing the Deaf community and corrected potentially embarrassing errors in our portrayal of Deaf and Hard of Hearing people. (Brent’s commentary on Silent Fear from a Deaf reader’s viewpoint is included at the end of this book).
The novel was inspired by the murders of Deaf students at Gallaudet University, one of the world’s most prestigious learning institutions for the Deaf, between 1980 and the early 2000’s. The investigating authorities didn’t know if the killings were ‘inside jobs’ and for a time nearly everyone connected to Gallaudet was under suspicion.
The SILENT FEAR storyline is:
Detective Valerie Crowther, a CODA well versed in BSL, is assigned to investigate the murder of a student at a university for the Deaf in London. The murder investigation coincides with a deadly flu virus outbreak, resulting in the university being quarantined from the outside world. When more Deaf students are murdered, it’s clearly the work of a serial killer. The stakes rise when Valerie becomes the killer’s next target and the deadly virus claims more lives.
