Product Description
Imagine the worst that can happen. Then imagine again. The stunning new Doc Ford novel by the New York Timesbestselling author.
Winter in New York City: Amid sleet and snow, Doc Ford is at the Explorers Club with his new friend, former (and maybe current) British agent Sir James Montbard, researching a jungle expedition and awaiting the arrival of an attractive U.S. senator with whom Ford has become more than friendly. Her car pulls up, she starts to get outand the unthinkable happens: an abduction attempt right before Fords eyes. Ford engages, managing to save the senator, but the companion in her car is not so lucky. A fourteen- year-old Minnesota boy, in New York as the prize for an essay-writing contest, he is snatched and vanishesdead, authorities fear, until they receive the kidnappers ultimatum.
Ford goes on the hunt, an odyssey that brings him first to Long Island, then to Florida, but if what happened before was unthinkable, its nothing compared with what he discovers. The boys captors have a definite agenda, and to make sure he isnt rescued before their thirty-six-hour deadline is up, theyve put him someplace theyre sure no one will find him: theyve buried him alive.
But theres something about the boy his captors do not know. He has a past, as do Doc Ford and many of the other key players in these extraordinary events. And before those thirty-six hours are over, all those pasts will catch up to the present with catastrophic results.
Randy Wayne Whites novels have always won praise for their remarkable imagination, intrigue, and some of the best characters in suspense fiction. Nothing, however, will prepare his readers for the remarkable twists and revelations of Dead Silence.

 a real dud December 7, 2009

I must agree with others - this book does not deserve to be read. I have loved most of Mr. White's previous books but this one was awful. I only gave one star but would like to give MINUS 12 stars, that's how bad it is. His next book will decide whether I read him any more in the future.

The book arrived promptly and looked good. However there were some printing errors...slightly blurred text on the edge of the paragraph. We were able to adjust to it, but its a little annoying.
Mr. White pleased us again with his prose.
 Condition was as promised October 3, 2009

Book arrived in excellent condition. Could have been just taken off the shelf. My only complaint is it took to long to arrive.
Still intriging and well worth the read. August 18, 2009

I love Randy's books as he uses the geography to tell his stories. He definately does his homework when including details of the area and it's history, which makes the books more interesting reading because then you can go and investigate the area yourself when you visit Southwest Florida. I have visited many of the areas he describes in his books and just can't wait to read each new book he puts out. I finally met him at a book signing at one of his restaurants in Fort Myers Beach. What and exciting life he must live! Debbi from Ohio and Cape Coral part time.
 How could it be possible that August 13, 2009

a high school freshman would think like an adult at least 40 or 50 years old? The way of thinking and talking that the kidnapped kid, Bull, did in this book, is definitely not like a teenager but a very matured guy. White said a lot of things, people and locations where he created this book, and undoubtedly he was surrounded by lot of adults but not even one kid around, therefore, he's totally lost how a teenager would or might think. It was so weird and awkward to read between lines and just made me feel this book was so lame. It should and could be better, but maybe RWW spent too much in bars, drank too much and even talked too much, that's why he totally lost his focus.
