title: A Desperate Silence: A Novel
author:  Sarah Lovett 
description: Lovett's third Sylvia Strange thriller (following Acquired Motives, LJ 9/1/96 and Dangerous Attachments, LJ 5/1/95) pits the Santa Fe forensic psychologist against a sadistic, heroin-addicted hit man out to murder a child who knows too much. Called in to evaluate the disturbed, frightened girl, who has withdrawn into muteness, Strange forms a bond with her that leads to an international Mexican drug trafficking and money laundering ring and a murderer on death row. As the cases coalesce and the graphic violence escalates, Strange gets help from her almost affianced lover, New Mexico police officer Matt England. Lovett deftly juggles various plot lines, illuminating the gritty border drug wars, the cops on both sides of the legal fence, and the psychological threads. Despite a few loose ends, this should appeal to readers who like their thrillers gory, complex, and at a breakneck pace.?
