Overview

Some silences are more deadly than screams. Dr. Monique Jones has dedicated her life to decoding the hidden language of humanity-the subtle twitch of a lip, the fleeting shadow in a gaze. As a forensic psychologist, she hears the stories that words fail to tell. But when a young woman is discovered in her immaculate apartment, her face a mask of blissful tranquillity, Monique is confronted by a silence so absolute it chills her to the bone. There is no evidence of a struggle. No cause of death. Only a perfect, unbearable quiet. Drawn into the investigation, Monique's search leads her to ""The Sanctuary of Stillness,"" a serene online forum offering solace to the overwhelmed and unheard. Its charismatic guide, The Listener, preaches a philosophy of profound peace and liberation from the world's noise. But as Monique analyses the digital footprints left behind, she uncovers a sinister truth: The Listener is a predator, a meticulous manipulator who identifies the vulnerable and expertly grooms them, not for violence, but for a willing, serene surrender. He is an artist of silence, and his victims are his masterpieces. Teaming up with pragmatic Detective Raymond Hunter, Monique races to decipher the killer's methodology and identify his next target. But The Listener is always one step ahead, curating his collection with terrifying precision. When the investigation strikes a nerve from her own past, Monique realizes the killer isn't just playing a game - he's inviting her to understand his work. He has chosen her as his final, worthy audience. To stop him, she must descend into his world and learn the grammar of his terrifying silence. But in the quiet, some truths are too devastating to hear... and some echoes never fade. A chilling, intelligent, The Silent Descent explores the darkest corners of the human psyche and the terrifying power of the unspoken word.
