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.


“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

“The work of an author who continues to raise his sights and refine his immense talent.”—Richmond Times-Dispatch

Oh My ...

This book was EXCELLENT! Kept me listening when I should have been working!!! Can't express in words how much I enjoyed this book!!

Overall - I enjoyed this book. The end was?

The end was a little hinky. It almost felt rushed. I don’t think it came together as well as I expected - But 90% of this book was pretty well done.

Starts out with a bang, but...

The story line started out well but strained credibility as it progressed. The main character, a Federal judge whose children were kidnapped, was not very likeable and seemed to have some psychopathic traits himself. For example, he had no qualms about burying a murder victim himself when it suited his agenda, with no concern for the victim's next-of-kin. Overall rating: 3.5*
