S is for silence

Just after Independence Day in July 1953 Violet Sullivan, a local good time girl living in Serena Station, Southern California, drives off in her new Chevy and is never seen again. Left behind is her young daughter, Daisy, and Violet's husband, Foley. Now, thirty-four years later, Daisy wants closure. Reluctant to open such an old cold case Kinsey Millhone agrees to investigate, believing at first that Violet simply moved on to pastures new. But it soon becomes clear that a lot of people shared a past with Violet - and some of them are desperate to keep that past hidden. And in a town as close-knit as Serena there aren't many places to hide when things turn vicious.
