Silence was supposed to protect the system.Instead, it changed it.When witnesses stop talking, cases don't collapse-they adapt. Charges are narrowed. Standards are lowered. Justice becomes quieter, faster, and disturbingly efficient. In a city where cooperation has vanished, the legal system learns how to function without voices at all.Chief Cross inherits a department that no longer expects testimony.Analyst Mara Ellison watches patterns stabilize in ways they never should.Detective Sarah Klein feels the ground shift beneath routine arrests.Prosecutors and defense attorneys adjust to a courtroom where silence has become strategy.And Thomas Reed-removed, watching, waiting-understands something the system refuses to say out loud: When justice no longer asks for participation, someone else will decide what justice looks like.As acquitted offenders begin turning up dead, the city confronts a terrifying question-not whether the law failed, but whether it trained its own replacement. What happens when the same silence that protected the guilty is used against them? And how far can a system bend before it recognizes its reflection in what it's hunting?The Silent Majority is a razor-sharp legal thriller about restraint, momentum, and the cost of quiet compliance. There are no speeches. No easy villains. Just a system learning-too late-that justice without friction doesn't disappear.It mutates.Perfect for readers who crave procedural realism, moral tension, and slow-burn consequences, Due Process: The Silent Majority asks a chilling question: If no one speaks, who decides what justice becomes?
