After his ex-wife bled to death in a bathtub covered in his fingerprints, the case against Aleksander Kaminski seemed open and shut. Though sentenced to life in prison, he swears he's innocent, a claim supported by his current wife.
Private investigator Dylan Scott finds himself drawn back to dreary Lancashire in a search for justice. The evidence against Kaminski is damning, but having been unjustly jailed himself, Dylan is compelled to pursue the case; if there's even a small chance the man is innocent, he has to help. The other obvious suspect—the victim's second husband—has a watertight alibi. But Dylan has a strong hunch that as usual, there's more going on than meets the eye in Dawson's Clough.
The deeper Dylan digs, the more secrets he unearths. The question remains: If Kaminski didn't murder his childhood sweetheart, who did?

Review"A welcome return to form for this series. I had no idea who the murderer was until the very end and was suitably shocked." - Book Chick City
"Appealing protagonists, a tight plot and an engaging writing style keep the story moving at a brisk pace. Shirley Wells does a brilliant job keeping the killer's identity under wraps. Silent Witness is a top-notch murder mystery that I highly recommend." - Book Reviews
"For a mystery series with heart, soul, great characters, and perplexing puzzles to solve I heartily recommend the Dylan Scott series." - Manic Readers
