Crime of Silence Tapa dura - 2003

Información de la editorial

A child has been kidnapped. His father, Evan Kiley, a newspaper reporter, telephones the home of the Wintons, a well-to-do family whose daughter had been abducted a year or so earlier. The Wintons paid the ransom and their child was restored to them; they did not call the police. Now Kiley blames this decision for his son's abduction, and George Winton feels guilty. The men who took Robin Kiley may well have been the same kidnappers; the new crime seems to follow the same pattern as the old. Perhaps if Winton had notified the authorities, the criminals would have been caught and the Kileys' son would have been spared. So Winton agrees to help Kiley in his time of need, and gradually the two are drawn together in a plot to thwart the kidnappers and get the boy back. But something goes wrong, and a murder is committed. As in all of Patricia Carlon's subtle psychoLogicaL thrillers, the climax of this chilling novel is utterly unpredictable.
