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?
