The Brand of Silence – A Detective Story finds Sidney Prale returning to New York after ten years during which he sought his fortune.

Who is working against him? And just as importantly, why? And what is the meaning of the notes he receives which remind him of “retribution”?
Reviews
Bernie
A good enough story, well read (as always) by Roger Melin.
Stanwood
It was fun to listen to in that it was so corny and poorly written. Lots of silly dialog. Despite that I did listen to the end. It was not a bad story it was just a thin plot and childish dialog. It was read well and is a good listen for a rainy day with nothing else to do, or listen to.
