Her search for truth leads her to a global conspiracy created to clone people for body parts, with ties to the highest levels of government.

Agent Brian Cramer – The CIA special ops agent who pursues Monica Pitt and then has a crisis of conscience which puts him at odds with the very government that sponsored his covert operation.
Agent Sergio Rodriguez (aka Warren Schmidt) – A rogue CIA agent who mutates into a monstrous hit man, and takes way too much pleasure in his kills.

What Prompted Me to Write This Novel
After finishing Silent Echoes, I was left with a feeling of incompleteness. The characters would not be silent, and their echoes kept urging me to complete their story! Silent Echoes describes Monica Pitt’s extraordinary discovery that she is the clone of a young woman named Monica Proxmire. Her quest to fully understand her horrible predicament and expose the highly organized and well-monied malefactors who were operating cloning factories all over the world to provide body parts for the rich and affluent puts her life and those close to her in danger—and in some cases result in tragic deaths. Her search for truth leads her to the highest levels of America’s government. What she finds shocks her and eventually sends her into hiding to save her life—and the lives of those she loves. I thought that was where the story ended. But Monica wanted the world to know what happened next!
Silent Echoes serves as the incredible backdrop for this follow-up suspense novel. Monica has fled to Paris, changed her name to Gabby Garceau, and gone off the grid. But she is still haunted by the evil actions of the corrupt Life Extension Institute, and she feels driven to bring them down, once and for all! This is the rest of her story!
