سکوت مرگبار

by Donna Anders, سیما فلاح (Translator)

Donna Anders has been praised for writing "magnificent" (Ann Rule) psychological suspense thrillers with "subtle touches that Hitchcock would have loved" (Edna Buchanan). Now she sends a young Seattle woman into a terrifying labyrinth of corporate deception where every scream falls prey to
Dead Silence

As a counselor for International Air, Liza MacDonough has helped hundreds of displaced employees through the trauma of downsizing. The loss of her husband, who mysteriously vanished a year ago, has only intensified her dedication -- her work is the only thing she has left. Now both her job and her life are in serious jeopardy. Clients have confided their suspicion that International Air?s sudden rash of unexplained layoffs are tied to a highly secretive and disturbing experimental company project. Liza is determined to investigate, but someone is watching her every move -- stalking her, stealing her files, ransacking her apartment, harming her friends and coworkers. Certain that she?s in possession of dangerous information, Liza must quickly piece together a vast puzzle of treachery and subversion -- before she finds herself permanently terminated.

About the author

Donna Anders was in her early twenties when she made her first sale, a poem she sold to a children's magazine for $1.00. From those early years of writing juvenile poems and stories, to historical novels that balanced her life through some hard times, to suspense thrillers when she wrote about terror from her own experiences, Donna became a writer for life.

ليزا مك دوناف، بابت ناپديد شدن شوهرش آشفته است. او مشاور اينترنشنال اير است، كمك به آدم‌هايي كه شغلشان را از دست داده‌اند و به دنبال شغل جديدي هستند. به تازگي اغلب مشتريانش ادعا مي‌كنند كه شركت غيرمنصفانه عمل مي‌كند و قضيه مشكوكي وجود دارد. آيا ناپديد شدن شوهرش ربطي به موضوع دارد؟ او تحقيق خود را شروع مي‌كند و زندگي‌اش در خطر مي‌افتد... با خواندن داستان با اطلاعات زيادي كه نويسنده در اختيار مي‌گذارد همراه مي‌شويد. خواننده هميشه مي‌داند در ذهن ليزا چه مي‌گذرد و چرا او به آن فكر مي‌كند. ليزا عليرغم شخصيت قوي كه دارد بسيار احساساتي است. مظنون‌هاي زيادي در داستان وجود دارند كه يكي يكي پديدار مي‌شوند. به محض نزديك شدن او به حقيقت، شخصي به قتل مي‌رسد يا خانه‌اش به هم مي‌ريزد. هر كسي كه در اطراف ليزان است قاتل به نظر مي‌آيد. يك معما كه البته غيرممكن است قبل از اتمام كتاب حدس بزنيد قاتل چه كسي است.

Very Good book. Really suspenseful and even I couldn't guess who-done-it until the very end!

This book kept me interested and hooked right until the end. I kinda guessed who the culprit was earlier than I was supposed to, but I still enjoyed it!
