The Girl Without a Voice

Twenty-two year old Alice has never known a normal life. Born mute, her overbearing father isolated her from the outside world while touring it himself as a travelling salesman. The only other significant person in her life is her neighbour Hallie and they communicate through sign language which Hallie learned especially for her. Often gone for weeks at a time, Alices father leaves her in the care of her often fierce and unkind mother. But when Alices father is diagnosed with terminal cancer, he remains permanently at home. Waking day and night at his deathbed, Alice listens to her fathers feverish drug-induced ramblings until, in his final days, he confesses to having murdered several women. Shocked and disbelieving, Alice confides in Hallie. Together, they vow to find the truth and journey her father's old travel routes connected to various missing women, before discovering the real reason behind why she lost her ability to speak. And how she is connected to her father's crimes.
