About this title

Synopsis

Ridgewater appears to be a sleepy American town, until a child’s silence conceals a deadly truth. Seven-year-old Emma Callaghan witnesses a crime no adult would believe, but with selective mutism, she cannot tell a soul. Instead, she draws: haunted lakes, blacked-out windows, a stalker’s glove, a girl lost in the woods. But the man she saw is not finished, and he knows Emma remembers.

When social worker Maya Harper arrives, she must decode every gesture, every sketch, every frightened glance. As danger closes in, Emma’s family, quiet Jamie, their exhausted mother, even a watchful neighbor, must band together with Maya and Detective Ethan Rowe in a race against secrets and shadows.

What happens when the only witness cannot speak her truth? How do you trust a voice you never knew was there? In Ridgewater, the most terrifying mystery is buried in a silence only a child can break, if she dares.

A chilling psychological suspense thriller, Silent Witness asks: Can the truth survive when the victim can’t speak?
