Silenced Cry by Marta Stephens

Homicide detective Sam Harper is torn between guilt and suspicion after his partner is shot and killed in what should have been a routine pick-up for questioning.

Determined to find his late partner’s killer, Harper has plunged back into his work when he is called to investigate infant’s skeletal remains found in an abandoned building. The evidence in the Baby Doe case leads Harper to unearth murky secrets involving those he respects most. His former partner, his revered boss -- even his police hero father are under suspicion if drug-dealing, corruption, rape, and murder and an unexpected connection to his partner’s death.

For the first time in his life, Harper must stand alone in a fog of lies where dangerous truths loom forth and the boundaries between pursuer and prey blur. Harper is left to decide how far he must go to hunt down the answers and what he will he do when he finds them. In the end, Harper can trust no one, not even himself.
