Silent Playgrounds

Searching for missing six-year-old Lucy, police find more than they bargain for when they discover the body of a young woman in a park nearby. While they have no clues, Lucy, now safely at home, does. There are monsters in the park, and they are getting closer, she warns. No one takes the child seriously, except for next-door neighbor, Suzanne Milner. As she becomes unwittingly drawn into the girl's nightmare, Suzanne is plagued by demons she thought she'd successfully buried.

When another body is found, detective Steve McCarthy understands that his straightforward homicide is eerily becoming something much more horrifying and complex. And unless he can find his way through a maze of lies and evasions involving Lucy and Suzanne, he won't be able to stop a clever killer before he strikes again.

Combining heartstopping terror and nail-biting suspense, Danuta Reah's chilling page-turner is filled with puzzling secrets, memorable characters, and unexpected twists that will keep readers hooked from beginning to end.
