His choices: prison or death. Which scares him more?

When fifteen-year-old Denzel Payton is charged with the murder of a disabled veteran at a homeless camp, he’s trapped in a no-win situation: remain silent and risk almost certain conviction, or name the real killer and face the wrath of a monster who terrifies him.

After Denzel’s attorney is murdered, lawyers Tony Valenti and Penelope Brooks step up to defend him, despite the risk of becoming the killer’s next targets. As the evidence against their client mounts and potential defense witnesses vanish, Tony and Penelope race to unravel a dark secret that may hold the key to the case. They’ll need smarts, guts, and a little luck to save Denzel.

"A brutal and gritty novel of survival on the merciless streets of Chicago, Scared Silent is a gut-wrenching ride. Given the national spotlight being recently turned towards the desperate plight of the poor, this gripping story is not only expertly penned, but also timely and fearless."

Product description

About the Author

Gary Bennett is a SAG-AFTRA audiobook narrator. He was born and raised in California and then in Bozeman, Montana, and is the oldest of four children. He now calls the greater Seattle area his home, and he's a huge fan of the Seattle Seahawks. Gary has always been passionate about not just telling a story, but telling it well. From reading bedtime stories with his children to performing in front of the microphone, bringing a story to life is one of his greatest joys. Gary has pursued his career in audiobook narration with zeal, continuing to not only invest in personal coaching from some of the best in the industry, but also investing in some of the best equipment for his professional home-based studio. There are few things he enjoys more than stepping into his StudioBricks home studio and recording his favorite books. Gary is also a licensed electrical engineer and a private pilot. He loves watching and participating in sports and listening to and playing music, and is an avid outdoor enthusiast.

Neil Turner is the author of the gripping and highly-acclaimed Tony Valenti crime and legal thrillers. After cutting his teeth on Beatrix Potter and Thornton W. Burgess animal stories, he progressed to devouring grown-up books before the audacious idea of writing a novel eventually wormed its way into his head. Now, with his first series published, two new suspense stories at various stages of development, and two-thirds of a thriller trilogy completed and agitating to be let loose in the world, he's thinking that the writing idea was a pretty good one! A native Canadian, Neil spent three years in Europe and lived in Chicago and Arizona during a lengthy stint in banking and finance. His early career plans to play professional ice hockey and indulge his love of music by playing guitar (badly) fell by the wayside along the way, but he still dabbles. You'll find references to music and places he's lived sprinkled through his work. Neil lives in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.

J: This story would have been a 5 star rating if not for the irrelevant side topics that do nothing but take up real-estate and add more pages. I like the characters, the plot is intriguing and the courtroom drama satisfying. I connected with the young boy and felt his pain.

15-year-old Denzel is accused of murder with all evidence pointing to him. There's just one problem, he's being framed by the real killer who will not hesitate to silence Denzel if he doesn't accept the prison sentence. Tony and Penelope are accept the case and have to act swiftly since witnesses are ending up dead and Denzel's life is now in danger as well. Will they be able to protect Denzel and stop the real killer?
If you've read books by the author before, you know he has detailed characters, complex plots and twists along with a fast-paced setting. This is still the same for this book and while I have read previous books in this series, this is a fresh and novel take on the characters. The plot does not feel overused or repetitive and I enjoyed unraveling the clues with our main two characters.

Of course, Tony saves the day, but he has plenty of help from his partner, Penelope, and the FBI. Additional story lines with the remaining cast of characters makes for enjoyable reading.
