When a terrible secret is brought to light, the members of a Texas ranching family turn on one another in an orgy of violence and destruction.
Billy Bodine dreams of a life beyond the confining borders of his family's ranch. The black sheep of his family, Billy finds his life there nearly unbearable. But when his mother, who has never uttered a word to him, tragically dies, Billy unearths a terrible and long-kept secret, and returns to the home he just escaped with vengeance in his heart and murder on his mind.
Joseph Duncan, author of the indie best selling Oldest Living Vampire Saga, steps outside the genre he is best known for to deliver a riveting historical thriller. The Silent Woman is a bloody tale of lust and revenge, set in Texas in the late 1800's, but it is more than just a western thriller. It is also a compelling study of the human condition, populated with memorable protagonists and blood-chilling villains.
A genre-defying novel, The Silent Woman takes the best elements of western fiction and blends them with mystery, suspense, romance and just a dash of the bloody horror that has made the indie author a fan favorite.
