Dead Man Falling
In this stylish crime novel, Mac Parris, a wildlife filmmaker living under an assumed name, has spent most of his life hiding from the FBI while also searching for some sign of the man who destroyed his family. But his compassion for wounded creatures, human as well as animal, brings him out into the open when a young woman asks for his help in tracking down her brother’s killer. Putting his own safety and freedom at risk, Parris will seek and pursue the murderer with the same dogged tenacity required to make his wildlife films.
Praised as “a darkly compelling story” by both Daily Variety and Publishers Weekly, Dead Man Falling is the second of Silvis’s mysteries to blend a rousing plot with literary quality writing, firmly establishing himself as “a preeminent practitioner of the literary art” while providing readers with what the Columbus Dispatch describes as “an irresistible page-turner that can satisfy the most demanding literary tastes.”

Suspenseful to the very last page.
Brilliant writer and storyteller in league of his own. There is magic in his words that draws the reader into the story.
