Product Description
When a rich Santa Barbara collector acquires a newly discovered Abraham Lincoln document, he asks detective Greg Evarts and UCLA professor Patricia Baldwin to authenticate it. Their research launches them into a dangerous struggle with a secret society formed during Reconstruction. Before they can solve the mystery surrounding the Lincoln manuscript, a shocking murder forces them to run for their lives. As they race across the country, they discover a Civil War secret that could upset the balance of power in North America. Now Evarts and Baldwin must unravel the 150-year-old conspiracy before it’s too late … and before they are silenced for good.

Everything you look for in a "good book" October 7, 2008

Excellent novel delivering everything you look for in a "good book". Suspense, thrill, adventure and American history all tossed in for an exciting story. The author's writting style is reminescant of an intellectural Dan Brown.
This shouldn't be a secret! August 24, 2008

It's all about secret societies but this book shouldn't be kept a secret. The fast-paced story is full of action, riddled with twists and turns, develops characters you like a lot, weaves in some interesting U.S. history and is VERY hard to put down. My only complaint was that it was over too soon. So read it - it's good!
Captivating July 18, 2008
Having read his previous book, The Shopkeeper, I knew going in that this would be an entertaining thriller. The anticipation of what is going to happen next makes it difficult to put this book down. The author has a way of personalizing the characters so that they seem like someone you've known for a long time.
I eagerly await his next book, which I hope is out soon. His writing style is unique and demands attention, and yet is easy to follow. The Shut Mouth Society is one of those books that you get into reading and then realize that half the day is gone.

This captivating novel moves with dizzying speed. The plot twists so fast that you don't want to put it down because you know there is going to be another surprise on the next page. The combination of an unpredictable plot, intriguing characters, and fascinating American history made this book hard to put down. I was very disappointed to finish it because I wanted more. Hey! How long are you going to keep us waiting for Leadville?
A Great Story June 23, 2008

I loved The Shopkeeper and I liked The Shut Mouth Society even more. It's full of adventure and suspense , but always remains believable. Besides being a fun book, I enjoyed the way American history was intertwined with an exciting story. The history of Lincoln and the Civil War period was a real asset to the book. I also like the way the story moves all over the United States because I have been in many of the locations. I hope James D. Best, like my other favorite authors, puts out at least a book a year.
