A child has been kidnapped.
His father, Evan Kiley, a newspaper reporter, telephones the Wintons, a well-to-do family whose daughter had been abducted a year or so earlier. They had paid the ransom and gotten their child back without calling the police and Kiley blames this decision for his son's abduction. George Winton feels guilty and agrees to help Kiley. But something goes terribly wrong and a murder is committed.
Set in the outback, 'Crime Of Silence' is a psychological thriller of unnerving power.
