In 1954 Chicago, words can get you killed.
Silence can kill you faster.
Eddie Vance is a private investigator with one foot in the gutter and the other in the grave. Deaf since the war, he's used to navigating a world that underestimates him - until the wrong case lands on his desk.
When a rising jazz singer is found dead in a South Side alley and the police call it an accident, her sister hires Eddie to find the truth. But the deeper he digs into the smoky corners of Chicago's clubs, speakeasies, and brothels, the more he realizes this isn't just a bad night gone wrong.
It's a message.
And someone's making sure it stays dead quiet.
Hounded by corrupt cops, gangsters, and a past he can't outrun, Eddie must solve a murder in a city where loyalty is for sale and silence is just another kind of weapon. And the closer he gets to the truth, the harder it becomes to tell friend from enemy - or to hear the difference before it's too late.
Sharp, moody, and steeped in grit, Dead Quiet is a standalone noir detective mystery perfect for fans of Raymond Chandler, Walter Mosley, and the jazz-soaked dangers of a city that never stops humming - even when it should.
In a city full of noise,
the deadliest secrets are whispered in silence.
