Where is my daughter? Where is my sister? Is she dead or will she appear at the door some day? These questions haunt the families of missing girls. The disappearances are happening more and more each day. A girl goes on a senior trip and drops out of sight or just leaves for an evening and never comes back. What is happening to these girls and are they dead or alive?

Rebecca (Becca) Montgomery of the San Antonio Police Department lives with these questions every waking moment. Becca’s sister Danielle never returned home from St. Joseph’s High School’s senior trip to Padre Island. Evidence later turned up that would point to the fact that Danielle is dead. Becca mourns the loss of her sister and vows to find the person or persons responsible for Danielle’s disappearance.

Lieutenant Santiago, Rebecca’s superior, feels that her personal tragedy is causing problems and pulls Becca off the investigation of the missing girls of San Antonio. The Imperial Theatre, a historic fixture in San Antonio, is destroyed by fire. The firefighters discover a body that has been hidden in the wall of the theatre. The body is that of a young woman who apparently was buried alive. Lieutenant Santiago orders Rebecca to work on the case of the murder of the girl whose body has been hidden for years.

One of the spectators at the crime scene is Diego Galvan. Becca immediately notices his good looks and feels an attraction to Diego. Diego is to play a big part in Becca’s life. Becca finds out that Hunter Cavanagh, a rich businessman, was previously the owner of the Imperial Theatre. When Becca visits Hunter Cavanagh she discovers that Cavanagh employs Diego.

Once Becca approaches Cavanagh her Lt. again takes her off the case and forces her to take a vacation. The FBI has an interest in the case and has demanded Becca be removed from the case.

No One Heard Her Scream is a very exciting, fast moving book that you will not want to lay down until you reach the last page.

Jordan Dane has two more books to be published this spring. No One Left To Tell and No One Lives Forever will be on my list of books to read. I hope some of the characters from No One Heard Her Scream will be a part of the next two books.
