""Reading 'Say Nothing' has put Brad Parks firmly on my ‘Must Read List’." "
Synopsis:
Judge Scott Sampson doesn't brag about having a perfect life, but the evidence is clear: a prestigious job and a beloved family. On an ordinary Wednesday afternoon, he is about to pick up his six-year-old twins to go swimming when his wife, Alison, texts him that she'll get the kids from school instead.
It's not until she gets home later that Scott realizes she doesn't have the children. And she never sent the text. Then the phone rings, and every parent's most chilling nightmare begins. A man has stolen Sam and Emma. A man who warns the judge to do exactly as he is told in a drug case he is about to rule on. If the judge fails to follow his instructions, the consequences for the children will be dire.
For Scott and Alison, the kidnapper's call is only the beginning of a twisting, gut-churning ordeal of blackmail, deceit, and terror; a high-profile trial like none the judge or his wife has ever experienced. Their marriage falters. Suspicions and long-buried jealousies rise to the surface. Fractures appear. Lies are told.
Through it all, Scott and Alison will stop at nothing to get their children back, no matter the cost to themselves or to each other.

Review:
'Say Nothing' is a mix of legal drama, thriller and mystery - a perfect combination that has been mixed with expertise to give a faultless end result. Not only does Parks include the excitement of the plot, but also all of the characters have believable emotions, motives and actions. Parks' novel is a moral dilemma of what a parent would do to protect their child, and how far they are willing to go - even if it means going against everything they believe in. This is a book that will grip you from the first page and won't let you go until you have finished the last word. Reading 'Say Nothing' has put Brad Parks firmly on my 'Must Read List'. Brilliant.
