Synopsis
Max Fisher is a successful Los Angeles cartoonist in his late 30s. Scarred by recent love affairs, he is cautious yet intrigued when he meets Lily Aaron, a single parent, and her nine-year-old son, Lincoln. As Max spends time with the Aarons, he falls in love with both of them: the perfect mate, the perfect child--and the perfect situation, since they seem to love him with equal intensity. But when he moves in with the pair, Max starts to discover disturbing secrets about Lily; she has committed a crime so heinous that she has been running from the truth for years. Should he sacrifice his adoptive family, or should he look away from the truth? Either choice is devastating.

Publisher's Note
I hold a gun to my son's head. He weighs about on hundred thirty pounds, the gun no more than two. Another way of thinking about it: My son Lincoln's life weighs only so much as this pistol in my hand. Or the bullet that will kill him? And after the shot will there be no weight? What vicious turn of fate has brought Max Fisher and his adopted son Lincoln to this shocking and elemental endgame? For more than ten years Jonathan Carroll has enchanted readers with tales of magic and wonder. His previous novel, OUTSIDE THE DOG MUSEUM, was hailed as "eccentric, funny...inventive";1 "refreshingly off-kilter";2 "a smart, funny book that visits the depths of cynicism and dares to be sincere."3 Now, this gifted and award-winning storyteller claims his rightful place in the literary mainstream with AFTER SILENCE, a brilliantly honest tale of right, wrong, and heartache. In his late thirties, Max Fischer is a successful cartoonist living in Los Angeles. Scarred by recent love affairs, he is cautious yet intrigued when he meets Lily Aaron and her nine-year-old son Lincoln. Lily, the manager of an offbeat restaurant, devotes her life to raising her son alone. As Max spends time with the Aarons, he falls irresistibly in love with them. The perfect mate, the perfect child--the perfect situation, since they seem to love him, too, with equal intensity. But as soon as Max moves in with the Aarons, he starts to uncover disturbing secrets about Lily. He can find no trace of her ex-husband. Worse, he discovers she has committed a crime so heinous that she has been running from the truth for years. It has been said that the heart does not know from logic. Should Max right Lily's wrong--sacrificing his adoptive family? Or should he look away from the truth? Either choice is devastating. Written with elan, and filled with keen insights about life, After SILENCE is a powerful story that travels down loves magnificent and deadly road to the heart

Industry Reviews
"A concisely prankish, infinitely disturbing novel from the hand of one whose grasp of the absurd is European... The whole novel is done with verve, daring and steady bravura."
Paul West

"Terrifying, compelling reading--the only thing harder than putting it down is forgetting it after the last page has been turned."
Stephen King
