Silence Her

Lishan has just infuriated her editor's circle of unscrupulous friends. The idealistic journalist's Truth Be Known series publicly airs and consequently threatens the lifestyles of several dangerous and powerful men in Washington--a list that includes an extravagant senator who enjoys perks from those in power, the food and drug CEO Jack Conner, and the FDA Commissioner. But all are invested in concealing their corruption, no matter the cost. 
Lishan's daring activism puts her life on the line, forcing her to enlist the aid of a trusted few: a flamboyant scientist at the FDA; a former professor who has a passion for her and who cannot control his jealousy; an author unjustly incarcerated for previously publishing the misdeeds of Conner and the FDA; and her aunt, who has guarded over and mentored Lishan following the murder of her parents when she was a child.
She finds herself threatened not only by her editor and the recipients of pointed remarks on the exposé, but also by the U.S. Attorney, the senator's legal council, and the CEO's henchmen--all determined to maintain the public's ignorance. Mix in the chaos from the men in her personal life who expose her weaknesses and strengths, and the complications in Lishan's life exceed what she thought was possible. Still, justice for the people is her driving force, no matter the risks to her life.
