Another masterpiece
The Silent Ones, a superior work with interlocking elements of courtroom drama, psychological study and corruption exposé, might best be called a moral thriller. Mr. Brodrick…tells his complex story from several characters’ points of view. Deeds, motives, sins and crimes are all up for analysis from various angles. The result is an unpredictable work, by turns shocking, poignant, enlightening and inspired * Wall Street Journal *Another masterpiece * The Lady *Secrets and lies by omission play out amid expertly executed plot lines and deeply thought-provoking situations … Sophisticated prose elevates this timely, painful tale * Publishers Weekly *
