Silent Move

When a young man is trapped in a house by a madman, he's forced to play according to his captor's rules--or die trying--in this suspenseful novel from Patrick Senécal, the bestselling author who has sold over a million books worldwide. After a bike accident, Yannick Bérubé knocks on the door of the nearest house to get help. Inside, he is shocked when he unwittingly stumbles upon a blood-stained room and a man on the verge of death. Discovered by the owner of the house, Jacques Beaulieu, Yannick is taken prisoner and soon meets his strange family--his devoted and obedient wife, Maude, and their two daughters, the seductive and scheming Michelle and near-catatonic Anne. Signs of Jacques's obsession with justice and the game of chess soon begin to emerge, and Yannick realizes that playing the game according to Jacques's rules may be his only means of escape. Can Yannick outplay his captor? Will he manage to gain Maude's sympathies? Or will he just become another pawn in Jacques's bizarre world of good and evil? Chilling, suspenseful, and deftly plotted, Silent Move is a riveting story about what happens when one man tries to manipulate justice, no matter the consequences.
