The Price of Silence: A Twisted Crime Thriller

By Gideon Hartwell

When Oliver Crawford is found lifeless in the laboratory of the Cambridge Biotech Centre, everything points to a tragic accident. Everything, except the stubborn grief of his mother, Abigail, who refuses to believe her son could have made a fatal mistake.

With the police ready to close the case, Abigail turns to the only man willing to listen: Mason Cole, former Scotland Yard detective, now a private investigator.

In their attempt to uncover the truth, Mason and Kate Morrison find themselves retracing Oliver's final days, meeting with colleagues, professors, and acquaintances of the young man. But in an environment where pressure, ambition, and competition can become dangerous, distinguishing coincidences from culpability is harder than it seems.

A gripping investigative thriller set in the shadows of Cambridge's academic world.
