One final case stands between Emma Chandler and the weekend she will spend the rest of her life wishing she had reached.

Grand Rapids, 2000. Emma and Matt are detectives, partners, and two overworked people who keep promising each other one quiet escape to Cedar Harbor. Then elderly collector Adelaide Wetherby is attacked, the legendary Lake Star vanishes, and her four fractured answers reveal two intruders—one who spoke and one who never did.

A doctored photograph erases an hour. Hollow display pieces conceal stolen jewels. A spotless alibi shields someone who knew what Adelaide planned to leave behind. As Emma closes in on the silent accomplice, the case steals more time from the ordinary marriage she and Matt are fighting to protect.

Tender, twisty, and quietly devastating, Before Silence reveals the case that shaped Emma before Cedar Harbor. The mystery can be solved. The lost weekend will haunt every road she takes home.
