Yet her idyllic life is shattered when she finds a woman lying on the restroom floor dying from a gunshot wound. The dying woman utters three words to Claire and conceals a thumb drive in Claire’s pocket. The items are keys to the location of proceeds from a bank robbery. The killer, certain Claire now has sole possession of those items, must find her, recover the code words and the drive, then kill her before she can solve the puzzle and recover the money. Knowing he is determined to find and kill her, Claire must do whatever she can to keep her heart beating.

Breaking Silence
The Claire Deveraux Series Book 3
Silence is like trust: easily broken.
The first time Claire and Megan Deveraux receive a cryptic text from the
anonymous “AMZ”, they decide it’s a sophisticated scam. But when further
evidence of a long-lost sibling starts to add up, Claire begins to wonder
whether there is merit to AMZ’s wild claims…or just photoshop and dumb luck?
As the sisters weigh up the risks of pursuing a ruthless blackmailer’s trail,
another victim is scrambling to keep his secret safe, whatever the cost.
Because no amount of money can make a man bulletproof…
From the streets of Paris to Texan suburbia, Breaking Silence cracks
open a nail-biting mystery that spans decades — and the globe.
