Silent Voices
Silent Voices, Kam Majd’s new international thriller, will be published in English in 2026
by Open Borders Press, the newly launched imprint led by acclaimed publisher Christopher MacLehose.
A gripping, female-driven thriller about two sisters caught in a global conspiracy—where truth, loyalty, and survival collide across some of the world’s most dangerous landscapes.
In Afghanistan’s treacherous borderlands, investigative journalist Jessie has vanished while following a lead she refuses to explain to anyone—not even her editor. When her sister Olivia, a former intelligence officer, receives a cryptic final message from Jessie, she knows something is terribly wrong.
Across Kabul, Jalalabad, and the lawless poppy fields, Jessie uncovers a brutal trafficking network tied to a powerful military-political alliance operating across continents. Trapped inside a hidden brick-factory compound with a young Afghan girl, Fatima, Jessie races to expose the organization before she disappears for good.
Olivia, haunted by past missions and armed with skills she hoped never to use again, returns to the field to find her sister. What begins as a rescue turns into the unraveling of a vast global operation—one capable of triggering an international reckoning.
As Jessie fights to keep Fatima alive, Olivia closes in on a shadowy mountaintop fortress broadcasting propaganda designed to reshape geopolitical power. Their paths move steadily toward each other—and toward a truth with devastating consequences.
Silent Voices is at once a story of survival, a geopolitical thriller, and a deeply emotional portrait of two sisters who refuse to be silenced.
