The Price of Silence

The Price of Silence by Larry A. Mardegian Man’s instinct is to survive. When ‘family’ is involved, this instinct is unbounded. It’s survival at all costs. Family first. Always. After overhearing a ‘family’ conversation, family-man Scott Burnett is identified as a possible problem, a definite liability, and, unfortunately, totally expendable. He knows too much. He’s got to go. Trapped between one ‘family’s’ desire to survive and the government’s offer to help, the Burnett family is placed on a path that leads from the streets of suburban Detroit to a luxury condo in Miami to the icy environment of Northern Michigan in the dead of winter. New identities, new lives, but the instinct to survive is as old as human kind. Which family wins? Which family loses? The Price of Silence explores good times gone bad and the path taken to regain them. A journey challenged by emotional roller coaster rides, hide-n-seek games, and life or death scenarios.
