A missing baby. A teenage mother suspected of murder. A jaded detective whose reputation is on the line. A signing gorilla destined for the auction block. A scientist who is about to lose everything. Will the revelation that a gorilla is the only witness to the crime save or doom everyone involved?

Neema, the fictional signing gorilla, is based on information from books and films about Koko, the real signing gorilla.

    A very interesting read. Wonderful characters. Reminds me of Koko and that there can be meaningful communication between species. Looking forward to reading #2!

    The most frustrating thing about being an avid reader is that truly original stories seem to be rare these days. It seems like so many plots are just variations of books I've already read. This book is not only original, it is everything a great story should be: well written; engaging; character driven; and so much more! Many mysteries seem to drag on with needless plot twist that don't really add to the story, but seem to merely stretch the book out to keep the reader guessing, but The Only Witness keeps you guessing and progresses realistically. I also love the fact that the ending is warm and upbeat.
