The Quiet Game

The highly anticipated high-suspense thriller is a rich and evocative work from the New York Times bestselling author of Mortal Fear and Spandau Phoenix.

Penn Cage, who was just widowed, discovers a very different situation when he returns to his birthplace in search of tranquility after leaving Houston with his little daughter. The gem of the antebellum South, Natchez, Mississippi, is a city of ancient secrets and ancient wealth. Penn finds himself investigating the most high-profile murder case in the town's history after discovering that his father is being blackmailed. He is looking for information that might bring down the judge who had almost ruined his father years before. The town is uniting against him, and Penn is joined by a young newspaper publisher named Caitlin Masters on a perilous journey to uncover the truth about one of the most sinister episodes in American history. This journey puts them up against the FBI, a group of brothers who are still fervently defending the tarnished legacy of J. Edgar Hoover. Penn's riskiest voyage, however, must be undertaken alone: into the enduring enigma of his own history and into the thoughts and feelings of a woman he lost twenty years ago but who still has the potential to either save or kill him.
