Keep Quiet

An emotionally gripping and complex novel about one man's split-second decision to protect his son—and the devastating consequences that follow—from a New York Times–bestselling author who "writes riveting thrillers that keep me up all night, with plots that twist and turn" (Harlan Coben). 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. "This book shows she is at the top of her form. It's a roller-coaster ride of plot twists and cliffhangers.

A fast, fun read." ―Fort Worth Star Telegram Praise for Lisa Scottoline "Scottoline is a powerhouse." —David Baldacci "Scottoline knows how to keep readers in her grip." —The New York Times Book Review "Smartly structured mystery thrillers written with genuine snap." —Entertainment Weekly "Punchy, wisecracking thrillers . . . characters who are earthy, fun, and self-deprecating.
