Silent Witness: Act III - Truth in Fragments

A brutal murder. A silent witness. A detective with everything to prove.

When beloved high school principal Thomas Ellery is found savagely murdered in his home, the quiet suburb of Crestwood is shaken to its core. Newly transferred Detective Lena Cross is assigned the case-still haunted by an Internal Affairs investigation that nearly ended her career. As she begins to peel back the layers of Ellery's seemingly perfect life, Lena discovers secrets the town doesn't want unearthed.

The only witness? Ellie Harper-an 11-year-old autistic girl who cannot speak. But Ellie saw what happened. And now, through a series of hauntingly detailed drawings, she may hold the key to unraveling the truth.

As Lena digs deeper, the evidence points not to a stranger, but to someone inside the very department she's trying to rebuild her trust in-a respected officer hiding a deadly secret. Faced with mounting pressure and a community desperate for answers, Lena must fight through political cover-ups, broken systems, and her own doubts to protect the only person brave enough to tell the truth-without saying a word.

Perfect for fans of The Silent Patient, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, and Tana French's Dublin Murder Squad, The Silent Witness is a gripping mystery thriller packed with suspense, emotional depth, and a protagonist you won't forget.
