Learn moreA Sam Kincaid Mystery
The armored-car robbery went awry, leaving two people dead, one a member of the gang believed responsible for the crime. Forty-five-year-old Walter Bradshaw is captured and charged with capital murder and aggravated robbery. Bradshaw, who leads an archconservative, antigovernment group of Mormon polygamists, now sits in a cell at the Utah State Prison awaiting trial. The rest of the Bradshaw gang remains at large.
Then two days before Bradshaw’s preliminary hearing, one of two witnesses to the robbery is stabbed and bludgeoned to death, and that same evening, the second witness, a young woman student of the University of Utah, narrowly escapes being kidnapped. Cops Sam Kincaid and Kate McConnell figure it’s not just coincidence and must once again look beneath the obvious in an increasingly dangerous scenario.
Michael Norman, a former reporter and columnist for the New York Times, is on the faculty of the Arthur L. Carter Journalism Institute at New York University and is the author of These Good Men: Friendships Forged in War. Norman was the inaugural writer for the New York Times columns "A Sense of Place," a monthly column exploring the dislocations of modern life in one suburban town; "Lessons," a national column on education; and "Our Towns," a twice-weekly column on life outside New York City. Norman has also written major articles for various other national publications, including the New York Times Magazine, the Washington Post Magazine, and GQ. His work has been syndicated both in the United States and abroad, and he is the author of These Good Men: Friendships Forged in War, a memoir published to critical acclaim in 1990. He lives with his wife and two sons in New Jersey.
William Dufris commands a dazzling array of voices that bring to life the dozens of audiobooks he’s narrated. Whether it’s Sam Spade, a survival expert, a Cuban gangster, or Fletcher the basset hound, William has a voice to embody the character.
Reviews
“A solid sequel to his well-received debut, The Commission (2007)…[Norman] has a good grasp of police procedure and writes with the same dogged, decent persistence that Sam displays.”
“Silent Witness is a terrific read.”
“This is a fast-paced, suspenseful mystery.”
“[An] authoritative, highly readable police procedural from a writer who earned his cop chops in the trenches.”
