The Sounds of Silence (A Phillip Rigby Mystery/Thriller Book 3)

He just wants to be given a good bill of health and reinstated with the Chicago Police Department.

But we don't always get what we wish for. Phil is visited by the Black Muslims who want him to look into the abductions and murder of young black children. They believe that there is a serial killer, who is being called t Chicago and Phillip Rigby is still trying to keep a low profile after his run in with the KKK in Texas. They believe that there is a serial killer, who is being called the Pied Piper, but that the police are not doing enough to bring this killer to justice. They are convinced that the police and the Mayor are turning a blind eye.

Phil's mistake is agreeing to investigate because dealing with the Black Muslims just brings him into conflict with the FBI. Not being your typical black man, Phil does not allow the FBI to push him around and doesn't hesitate to defend himself which includes having them arrested for following him and taping his phone line. Not only is Phil having to deal with the FBI but he has now drawn the attention of the Pied Piper himself who is now looking for ways to destroy Phil.

What better way than to get to his family. The Pied Piper has a hatred for all blacks and he is relishing in his game of abducting and killing children. A child has been taken and brutally killed. What Phillip runs into is a political mess. A mentally retarded man who was a member of the KKK is being accused by the District Attorneys office as the killer of the little girl. Phillip is convinced this man does not have the intelligence to pull this murder off.

Phil is not the type of man that backs down from a fight and he is going head to head with these men. Can he prove the man is innocent? What is pushing the DA to convict a man even if that man is not guilty? How much does politics play into it? Phil Rigby is a character that you just can't help admiring. He is honest and willing to fight for anyone he believes is not being treated fairly be them black or white. Now in his determination to find the killer of the little girl and find justice for the man accused of the crime he once again faces his past. Old enemies from Rigby are turning up and it appears that Phillip is right in the line of fire.

The KKK has a long memory and although everything seemed resolved with his fathers death and the subsequent problems with his mother and sisters, apparently all is not forgotten. Is the Pied Piper one of the people from Rigby? If so who is it? What is their ultimate goal? What about Phillip's family?

Are they in danger? Israel has a way of writing that brings out all sorts of emotions. The scary part of this book and the first Phillip Rigby book is that although written as fiction it hits too close to home. I have no doubt that what Mr. Israel has written about is going on somewhere even today. It is inconceivable that there is so much hatred in the world and worst of all that it is aimed at the innocent, children who have done no wrong and cannot defend themselves. There are surprises in this book that I never saw coming.

Now that is what makes a great book. There were some editing problems but they did not interfer with my enjoyment of the book so I did not think it was worthy of a lower rating. Larson rated it liked it Apr 02, Katy marked it as to-read Feb 05, Terry marked it as to-read Feb 13, Beckie marked it as to-read May 06, Deangela marked it as to-read Aug 20, Laura Jackson marked it as to-read Jul 14, Marcie marked it as to-read Nov 29, Yellagirlgc marked it as to-read Nov 29, Carmen Blalock marked it as to-read Jan 16, The 12 Days of LT scavenger hunt is going on.
