The Silent Shooter

Authors’ Note

Authors’ Note

THE SILENT SHOOTER begins about thirty minutes after the end of The Defining Decision and contains spoilers for the earlier book.

This book takes place in a time and place very much like our own. In the book’s world, however, COVID-19 doesn’t exist; hence our characters wear no masks, shake hands, hug with abandon, and gather in groups of more than 10 people.

All the places and characters in this book are the product of the authors’ imagination and research. Any resemblance to actual places or persons is entirely coincidental.

To Theresa K. Bowers,

Susan’s favorite friend of over thirty years,

the first person other than Susan to ever read a Father Tom Mystery,

one of our beloved beta readers,

and the inspiration for Helen’s huge tote bag.
