Description

“Outstanding—starts with a bang and gets tenser and tenser. Say Nothing shows Parks is a quality writer at the top of his form.”—Lee Child

“Terrific book. Truly terrific. Tension throughout and tears at the end.”Sue Grafton

Judge Scott Sampson doesn’t brag about having a perfect life, but the evidence is clear: A prestigious job. A loving marriage. A pair of healthy children. Then a phone call begins every parent’s most chilling nightmare. Scott’s six-year-old twins, Sam and Emma, have been taken. The judge must rule exactly as instructed in a drug case he is about to hear. If he refuses, the consequences for the children will be dire. 

For Scott and his wife, Alison, the kidnapper’s call is only the beginning of a twisting, gut-churning ordeal of blackmail, deceit, and terror. Through it all, they will stop at nothing to get their children back, no matter the cost to themselves...or to each other.

“Complications and twists build to an unexpected climax that is both perfect and gut-wrenching.”—Library Journal (starred review)
 
“Grips the reader from the get-go and doesn’t let up until the final twist.”—Associated Press

  • Fascinating novel

    I have been a fan of certain John Grisham novels but when I read this book I wondered why Parks is not given as much acclaim. I look for a story with a somewhat unique plot with interesting characters, that moves along fluidly and is filled with twists and turns and surprises. I appreciate the research that must have gone into the story, especially the judicial aspects. I would have given it 6 stars.

    I loved the way the characters were developed in the plot! It is a heart wrenching book that demonstrates the love we mothers have for our children. All mothers everywhere will enjoy this book.

    This is an incredible book. It is Grisham worthy and that is high praise. The only thing I can add is get it, and read it. You won't be disappointed.

    This was my first book by this amazingly talented writer, and I will read every other one immediately. The tension starts on the first few pages and never let's up. What a treat to read, buy this book now, and say goodbye to anything else you were going to do. It is worth it.
