Silent Joe Cover

Awards

Winner of the Edgar Award, 2002

Synopses & Reviews

Review:

"Parker lowers the volume from his usual roar and adds a subtle backbeat to this bittersweet thriller....He crafts an intricately layered story reaching beyond his usual domain into more personal territory, at times evoking the work of Ross MacDonald." Publishers Weekly

Review:

"A pro, that's what T. Jefferson Parker is. His plots are intricate, keenly crafted, clearly mapped..." Los Angeles Times

Review:

"T. Jefferson Parker, whose affecting Silent Joe is...full of quirks and great surprises." Wall Street Journal

Review:

"For all his taciturnity, Joe makes an eloquent and persuasive action hero. His story could have been pared down without harm, but, still, this is another highly professional score from a savvy veteran." Kirkus Reviews

Review:

"[A]nother compelling take on one of [Parker's] favorite themes: damaged souls forced to confront their own inner demons while battling others made of flesh and blood. Joe Trona's battle is a long way from over. Expect to see more of him." Wes Lukowsky, Booklist

Review:

"[A] dark, sexy gem....A complex mix of seemingly unconnected plot lines, vivid characterization, and real mystery merge to form a truly satisfying thriller. Parker has joined the ranks of Michael Connolly, James Patterson, and Jonathan Kellerman." Library Journal
