Priest herself became part of the story when she was asked to appear before the nationally televised inquiry. Complete with photographs and new material Conspiracy of Silence is the most thorough and convincing account of this terrifying tale. Lisa Priest was born in Windsor Ontario and received her Honour Bachelor of Arts degree in Communication Studies from the University of Windsor in 1987. She has worked as a reporter at the Windsor Star the Ottawa Citizen and the Winnipeg Free Press. Conspiracy of Silence her first book is the outgrowth of a story that she covered for the Free Press.
