Unspeakable

Recently escaped from prison, Carl Herbold heads for Texas to take his revenge on his stepfather, Delray Corbett, who had a hand in convicting him. Corbett fears Carl's reprisal will endanger the lives of his widowed daughter-in-law, Anna, and her small son David. The aging rancher finds an ally in Jack Sawyer, a mysterious drifter all too familiar with Carl's devious capabilities. Jack is drawn to Anna, and the deaf woman's silence speaks to his heart - a heart burdened with a painful secret that may keep the two apart. Hardcover, 439 pages.
