bestselling and Edgar Award winning author Lisa Scottoline is loved by
millions of readers for her suspenseful novels about family and justice.
Scottoline delivers once again with Keep Quiet,
an emotionally gripping and complex story about one man’s split-second
decision to protect his son - and the devastating consequences that
follow.
Jake Buckman’s relationship with
his sixteen-year-old son Ryan is not an easy one, so at the urging of
his loving wife, Pam, Jake goes alone to pick up Ryan at their suburban
movie theater. On the way home, Ryan asks to drive on a deserted road,
and Jake sees it as a chance to make a connection. However, what starts
as a father-son bonding opportunity instantly turns into a nightmare.
Tragedy strikes, and with Ryan’s entire future hanging in the balance,
Jake is forced to make a split-second decision that plunges them both
into a world of guilt and lies. Without ever meaning to, Jake and Ryan
find themselves living under the crushing weight of their secret, which
threatens to tear their family to shreds and ruin them all.
Powerful and dramatic, Keep Quiet
will have readers and book clubs debating what it means to be a parent
and how far you can, and should, go to protect those you love.
Which book are you waiting for?
Enjoy life with books . . .
