Blurb: "HIDE THE WELCOME MAT, PULL THE BLINDS AND TAKE THE PHONE OFF THE HOOK, BECAUSE YOU'LL BE DEAD TO THE WORLD FROM THE VERY FIRST PAGE OF. DON'T SAY A WORD."
—New York Daily News
Dr. Nathan Conrad has spent the day in his Central Park West office counseling the forlorn-patients who have earned him the nickname "Psychiatrist of the Damned." As the good doctor wearily makes his way home he wonders: "How can they live with something so bad?" He's about to find out.
A silent danger is closing in on Conrad and his family. As he explores the hallucinatory world of a beautiful schizophrenic accused of murder...as he plays games with his little daughter...as he makes love with his wife...they are watching him. They are making plans. A man called Sport with a charming smile and a twisted mind. A murderous giant named Maxwell who takes his pleasure from others' suffering. As they make their move, DON'T SAY A WORD becomes a nerve-shattering adventure that races from the glittery heart of the living city to the desperate landscapes of the insane...and the dead.
Suddenly a courageous man is trapped in the most dreadful circumstances a family can imagine. And he dare not say a single word.
