Summary: Will raise your heart rate
Review: Similar type plot books out like this or I would have given it 5 stars. But Lindsey keeps you hooked from page 1 to the end. The bad guys are awful and will raise the hair on the back of your neck.
A good page turner to keep you occupied and looking over your shoulder for a night or two. Give this one a try.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Page-turning...A thriller that actually thrills.
Review: The plan is always the same...seek out a wealthy victim, kidnap them, and explain the rules. The plan has always worked smoothly, until now...This time the victim fights back!

Titus Cain is a self-made millionaire with the perfect life...a loving wife, a beautiful home, and a very successful software company, but his perfect world is about to be shattered when he is the target of a devious plan.

Tano Luquin is a master thief; a monster who conjures up sick schemes to rob wealthy individuals of their fortunes. Tano has chosen Titus Cain as his new victim.

Tano kidnaps Titus to explain the rules of the latest game, and the rules are simple:
Over the next four days Titus must make a series of "bad investments" totaling 64 million dollars. These payments must be made to Tano, and if any of the payments are missed someone close to Titus will die. Titus gets to go on living his life as usual, but nobody is to know of the kidnapping, and the money being paid must go undiscovered by his financial advisors. If Titus should break any rule, or talk to someone there will be a murder of those closest to him. There will be no warnings, and Tano will not repeat the rules, but if you break one of them you will pay.

Titus decides to fight back, and in the process realizes he is up against a man more ruthless than he imagined, and if he is to come out of this alive he must fight as dirty as Tano.

'The Rules Of Silence' is a smart, well written thriller that actually thrills. A page-turner of the highest order this novel grabs hold from page one and doesn't let go. The action comes fast and furious as the kidnapping plot unfolds, and as the various sub-plots develop the reader will find they can't put the book down.

David Lindsey is a wonderful thriller writer. I have been a fan for many years, and his novels get better, and better. Mr. Lindsey can always be counted upon for an original thriller, one that is smart as well as suspenseful. 'The Rules Of Silence' should jump onto bestseller lists everywhere, and place David Lindsey alongside other superstar authors in the genre for he is very deserving of it.

Read this novel, you will not be disappointed!

Summary: Silence is Golden
Review: Titus Cain has what some would call the "perfect life." He has a loving relationship with his wife Rita, several good friends, and has built his own multi-million dollar company. He is unaware that life as he knows it is about to change forever.

Cayetano "Tano" Luquin, a professional kidnapper, has chosen Titus as his next victim. Tano's methods are as deadly as they are unconventional and obscure. Unlike most kidnappings, Titus is not sequestered. He will go on with his life, business as usual; however, he will be forced to make several "risky" business investments to the tune of 64 million dollars. These millions will be transferred to Tano as his "ransom". If Titus resists or contacts the authorities, those close to him will die.

Titus contacts CIA agent Garcia Burden, who has a considerable amount of information about the inner workings of Tano's organization. What ensues is a suspenseful, psychological thriller that leaves you breathless.

This is my first time reading a work of David Lindsey, and I became an instant fan. THE RULES OF SILENCE is a gripping page-turner that left me wanting more. This is a must read for those looking for an intelligent, fast-paced, action-packed novel.

Summary: Just Like an Action Movie
Review: Titus Cain is the owner of a multi-million dollar software company located in the beautiful hills of Austin, Texas. He has a fine home and a good relationship with his wife and their two daughters.

Instantly, his world of harmony and assuredness transforms into one of discord and uncertainty when a visitor from out-of-town shows up unexpectedly. The stranger threatens to kill Titus' family and friends unless he gives up 64 million dollars of his hard-earned fortune.

Titus, not willing to give in easily, goes against the orders of the extortionist and solicits assistance from an ex-CIA agent, Garcia Burden. From Garcia, Titus learns that the stranger is Cayetano Luquin, a notorious drug principal with a deadly past and possible ties to terrorism.

Garcia sets up his high-tech investigative operation and starts working on a plan of action. When people start dying, Titus feels there is more he needs to know and threatens to go to the FBI if Garcia doesn't give him more information. Garcia concedes but it comes with a price that Titus will have to pay for the rest of his life.

Once enlightened to the magnitude of the situation, he decides to allow Garcia to continue with the case. Garcia organizes what seems to be the perfect plan to capture Cayetano and his entire crew, when things go awry. Then it is up to Titus to save his own life, the lives of those closest to him, and maybe the world.

David Lindsey tells the story in such vivid imagery that you actually feel that you're in the Texas hill country. The story includes the language and violence expected in a story about extortion and murder. Overall, it is a book that is hard to put down, and when you do, you'll feel like you just watched an action movie.
