Ipswich, Mass. (PRWEB) November 23, 2008 -- Oceanview Publishing is pleased to announce the sale of large print rights for Conspiracy of Silence by Martha Powers to Thorndike. Thorndike will release a large print edition of Conspiracy of Silence in March 2009. The latest from award-winning novelist Martha Powers, Conspiracy of Silence (Oceanview, ISBN: 978-1-933515-18-2, $24.95) was released in hardcover on November 1, 2008.

On a sunny day in July, protagonist Clare Prentice arrives in Grand Rapids, Minnesota. Although she is on assignment to interview the town's notoriously reclusive novelist Nate Hanssen, Clare is really in search of a different story--her story. Just months before, Clare was a bride-to-be, living in Chicago, and looking to the future--until the day she learned her entire life had been a lie. Not only does Clare learn that she was adopted, but she soon discovers that there is no record that she or her adoptive mother ever existed. The only clue Clare has to her adoptive mother's real identity is a class ring from Grand Rapids Senior High School. Unable to get on with her future until she reconciles her past, Clare breaks off her engagement.

Unraveling the mystery is like trying to sculpt fog--until the first piece of the puzzle unexpectedly drops into place: Clare's birth mother, Lily Gundersen, was murdered in Grand Rapids. Lily's murder was one of the most talked-about events in the town's history, but no one is talking now. Amidst the deafening silence, Clare sets out to find out what really happened. But what Clare doesn't realize is that someone will stop at no end to make sure that Clare never finds out the whole story.

Susan Greger, Publisher at Oceanview, commented, "A dynamic page turner from one of the best thriller writers around, Conspiracy of Silence is a fantastic novel, and it is with great pleasure that we announce Thorndike's large print rights purchase. We are delighted that this excellent book will be available in a large print edition, and available to an even broader audience of readers."
