I Won't Say a Word

(2024)
A novel by

 
 
When his younger, construction worker brother (Josh) goes missing, a non-verbal communicator (Buddy) is summoned back east so authorities can scour his laptop and their most recent communications. Josh isn’t just any construction worker—he is married to Amy Fortman (yes, those Fortmans), whose uncle Ari works for the president of the United States. The family also owns Fortman Brothers Construction, where Josh and Buddy’s father Neil was working when he contracted the myelofibrosis that killed him from toxic soil, which Fortman may or may not have covered up. When Josh is reported dead of a suspicious overdose, Buddy begins looking into his brother’s and father’s death, putting him in the direct line of fire with local authorities, federal agents, and malevolent psychiatrists, as each stone overturned reveals a conspiracy that only burrows deeper.

Blending true-crime and mystery with eco-political thrillers,
I Won’t Say a Word plays with genre and trope, mashing together the classic spy novel with a tale of modern domestic psychological suspense. The end result is a dizzying foray into the depths of madness and bonds of brotherly love.
