A Desperate Silence (Dr. Sylvia Strange Book 3) - Plot & Excerpts
The building housed a bank, law offices, AeroChihuahua, a private tourism bureau, and the regional headquarters of the International Children's Rescue Fund. Noelle Harding maintained a five-thousand-square-foot suite on the top floor. Service staff privately referred to it as the Eagle's Nest. The exterior walls were floor-to-ceiling glass, affording a view of a rusty sun as it set behind Comanche Peak and the Franklin Mountains. At the foot of the mountains—and as far as the eye could see in any direction—the urban sprawl of El Paso and Juárez spread out like a massive living, breathing, crazy quilt. The view awaited Sylvia when she opened her eyes after six hours of solid sleep. The sleep had come only after an interminable session spent answering repetitive questions for the F.B.I. At the end of the debriefing session, she had demanded that she be taken to Serena. She'd expected to find her in a hospital. But a quiet woman with a starched blue uniform and a lilting Mexican accent had explained: "This is the home of Señora Harding." A wide verandah rimmed the suite's south and southwestern flanks.
