The Silent Hour

Elena Vasquez writes the kind of thrillers you finish in one sitting and then check the locks. Her Detective Marisol Reyes series has sold over two million copies worldwide and been translated into fourteen languages. A former investigative journalist in Miami, she brings the newsroom to every page — the deadlines, the sources, the story that won't let go. She lives in coastal Virginia with her husband, two rescue greyhounds, and a coffee habit she describes as "professional-grade."
