Noise, by Brett Garcia Rose, is a thriller/mystery centering on a deaf
character's search for his missing sister. It's short, violent, but ultimately
it's about love. Noise was published in June 2014 and is
available for sale on Amazon
and Barnes & Noble. Genres: Action, Adventure, Mystery
Synopsis:
The world
is an ugly place, and I can tell you now, I fit in just fine.
Lily is the only person Leon ever loved. When
she left a suicide note and disappeared into a murky lake ten years ago, she
left him alone, drifting through a silent landscape.
Or did she?
A postcard in her handwriting pulls Leon to the
winter-cold concrete heart of New York City. What he discovers unleashes a
deadly rage that has no sound.
A grisly trail of clues leads to The Bear, the
sadistic Russian crime lord who traffics in human flesh. The police—some
corrupt, some merely compromised—are of little help. They don’t like Leon’s
methods, or the mess he leaves in his wake.
Leon is deaf, but no sane person would ever call
him disabled. He survived as a child on the merciless streets of Nigeria. He
misses nothing. He feels no remorse. The only direction he’s ever known is
forward.
He will not stop until he knows.
Where is
Lily?
