Silence in the Tortured Soul

**When no one can see the cry for help**Undercover operatives Sid Hackbirn and Lisa Wycherly face many of the usual problems of newlywed parents, including raising their son, Nick, a pre-teen dealing with a pack of girls chasing him and an exploding appetite. But they also get a more ticklish job than usual - protecting one of the engineers working on a satellite with some new capabilities. What makes it ticklish is that the engineer is Sid and Lisa's good friend Esther Nguyen, and not only do they need to protect her from anti-nuke protesters and even the KGB, Sid and Lisa need to draft Esther and her almost husband Frank into the ultra top-secret Operation Quickline, and then train them.
Add Sid's aunt suddenly moving to Los Angeles, that their good friend's wife is dying, and a host of parents who can't deal with Sid, Lisa, and Nick all having different last names, and it's no wonder Lisa finds adjusting to being a wife and mother harder than she imagined. And she's not the only one quietly screaming for help.
