Sounds of silence

the long version

"The summer of 1966 is a far cry from sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll for Santa Cruz telephone company manager Trish Malcolm. A cheating fiance and broken engagement have left her doubting her judgment and her dreams. Just when she thinks her life can't get any worse, an operator she has hired is murdered. And then another. Police sergeant Len Sanchez doesn't want interference from civilians, especially not from Trish. But in a daring act of violence on the Santa Cruz Boardwalk, the killer leaves her no choice."--Page 4 of cover.
