In SILENT JOE, Joe Trona, a man scarred in more ways than one, investigates his adopted father’s death and confronts his own haunting past. “In crime fiction, it often seems to be the world-weary detective, going into the world to do battle. But I thought, hell, why not write someone young and fresh and full of strength and innocence? So I came up with Joe…. It's a very different book for me.” —T. Jefferson Parker on SILENT JOE
