Dead Silence

It's Halloween and Arnold Cinch is missing. Another snowstorm is imminent with a closely fought Montana Senate election only a week away. There is no good news. Mesa has reason to be distracted from the campaign season. But when the search for Cinch leads to a homicide investigation and the seedy underbelly of campaign politics, more is at stake than who gets elected. In Dead Silence, the fourth Mining City Mystery, the unearthing of past trauma and acts of conscience drive Mesa and her staff at the Messenger to discover the truth.
