Amazon has a pretty good page on it, with a good review and other book recommendations. They list it currently at #56, which is a pretty fast start.

On the other hand, a Google Search for "Silent Witness" turned up just about everything BUT Fuhrman's book. One more instance where you have to wonder if Google is messing with searches for political reasons. Usually, Google is great, but then you get a strange result like this.

Me, too. When I put in the name of our troop support group at first our current thread was at the top of the list, with the introduction of all we have done.

Soon afterward, our thread couldn't be found, just an old one six or seven down the list...so I put a link to the new thread at the end of the old one.

Amazon has a combo package: "Silent Witness" and "The Truth About Hillary".

I seldom use google. Not sure who is behind dogpile.com but that is my favorite search engine. The big search engines come up on dog pile and I find a ton more leads there.

I don't see a political agenda. "Silent Witness" is a very common phrase and even a very common title. Nonetheless, one link to Fuhrman's book shows up at #99 in a Google search. Google ranks in large part by how many links there are to a page, and how many links there are to those links, and so on. It makes sense that a new book doesn't have many links to it yet.

If you search for "Silent Witness"+fuhrman, the new book comes up right away.
