La grieta del silencio — Javier Castillo

In La Grieta del Silencio, Javier Castillo returns to the universe of his acclaimed thriller titles with a new, dark mystery that will keep you searching for answers. It begins in Staten Island in 1981: a boy named Daniel Miller disappears after his bicycle is found abandoned near his home. No sign of the child ever surfaces. Three decades later, in 2011, investigative journalist Miren Triggs uncovers a lead that forces her down a chilling path — the discovery of a sealed-lipped corpse, and the re-opening of wounds both personal and professional.
Miren teams up with her former journalism professor Jim Schmoer, and joins forces with ex-FBI inspector and Daniel’s father, Ben Miller, to retrace the missing boy’s story and expose the hidden corridor of silence that surrounds it. What happened to Daniel? Who remains silent by choice — and who by fear?
With a plot that weaves past and present, La Grieta del Silencio is a novel of secrets, memory and the echoes of pain that refuse to be buried. Castillo delivers sharp characterization anchoring a suspense-filled narrative, in which each clue opens a new corridor of doubt. Perfect for readers of dark crime thrillers who are drawn to stories where the past doesn’t stay buried and silence may be the loudest truth of all.
