Say No More: The Thrilling Next Installment in Hank Phillippi Ryan's Award-Winning Jane Ryland Series!
When Boston reporter Jane Ryland reports a hit and run, she soon learns she saw more than a car crash--she witnessed the collapse of an alibi. Working on an expose of sexual assaults on college campuses for the station's new documentary unit, Jane's just convinced a date rape victim to reveal her heartbreaking experience on camera. However, a disturbing anonymous message--SAY NO MORE--has Jane really and truly scared.
Homicide detective Jake Brogan is on the hunt for the murderer of Avery Morgan, a hot-shot Hollywood screenwriter. Her year as a college guest lecturer just ended at the bottom of her swimming pool in the tight-knit and tight-lipped Boston community called The Reserve. As Jake chips his way through a code of silence as shatterproof as any street gang, he'll learn that one newcomer to the neighborhood may have a secret of her own.
A young woman faces a life-changing decision--should she go public about her assault? Jane and Jake--now semi-secretly engaged and beginning to reveal their relationship to the world--are both on a quest for answers as they try to balance the consequences of the truth.

Publisher's Weekly Review
At the start of Mary Higgins Clark Award-winner Ryan's engrossing fifth Jane Ryland novel (after 2015's What You See), the Boston-based investigative journalist witnesses a hit-and-run. Jane calls in the perpetrator's plate number, but the car's owner insists he's innocent, earning Jane an invitation to testify in court. When Jane receives an anonymous note warning her to "say no more," she's uncertain whether the threat pertains to the accident or her in-progress exposé about campus rape. Meanwhile, Jane's almost-fiancé, homicide detective Jake Brogan, works to take down the Sholto crime family and investigates the suspicious death of Avery Morgan, a Hollywood screenwriter turned adjunct college professor whose corpse was found floating in her swimming pool. Ryan uses a complex, multifaceted plot to deliver an unflinching look at college sexual assault and examine the "hard line between journalism and law enforcement." The tension mounts as the action builds to a conclusion that thrills and gratifies. Five-city author tour. Agent: Lisa Gallagher, Sanford J. Greenburger Associates. (Nov.) © Copyright PWxyz, LLC.

Kirkus Review
Bostons smartest, sexiest investigative couple returns and, even more so than usual, find themselves entwined in each others cases. This latest installment in the adventures of ace TV newswoman Jane Ryland and Harvard-educated homicide detective Jake Brogan (her no-longer-secret fiance) hits the ground runningnbsp;with what seems to be a hit-and-run highway accident witnessed by both Jane and her new producer, Fiola (not Fiona, as shed reminded Jane a few hundred times already). [pg. 1] Five previous novels being what they are, readers will know theres more to this than meets the eye. And Jane knows she may have to be called upon as a witness, which doesnt please her or her bosses at the station [pgs. 28-29, 74-75]. Still, not even this can keep her from her main task of the moment: gathering interviews for a documentary about sexual assaults on college campuses. One victim in particular [58-63] seems poised to tell all on-camera, though shes still too shy to give Jane and Fiola her real name. Meanwhile, Jake and Bostons Finest have been dispatched to a housing complex called The Reserve, an off-the-official-map enclave of blue-blooded affluence, [pg. 30-31] to peer into the suspicious drowning of a Hollywood screenwriter whos a visiting professor at a local collegethe same college (of course) attended by Janes potential interview subject. And if all that werent enough, theres another Reserve resident [pgs. 37-9] who anonymously alerted police to the screenwriters fatal fall into the complexs swimming pool and has her reasons for staying as anonymous as possible. Arrogant college administrators, reluctant witnesses, and yet another mysterious death among the reserved at The Reserve are among the many impediments placed in front of Jane and Jake as they work what seem to be separate sides of the street that you just know will converge toward the end. Ryan shows a greater assurance in handling her multi-tiered plot through the use of multiple points of view. The device works so well it should become a regular part of her winning format. nbsp; nbsp; Copyright Kirkus Reviews, used with permission.
Booklist Review
In their fifth romantically charged thriller, Boston investigative reporter Jane Ryland and BPD detective Jake Brogan are moving their relationship forward now that Jane has transferred out of breaking news. Of course, instead of simplifying matters, Jane's career move places her in the center of another dangerously tempting investigation. En route to an interview, Jane sees a hit-and-run and alerts police that she's a witness. Before she knows it, she's destroyed the DA's case by contradicting a defendant's bogus confession, and she's receiving threats. But things look up when she finds a focus for her campus sexual-assault documentary in Tosca, a young woman who was victimized at local Adams Bay College. At the same time, Jake's latest case also leads him to Adams Bay, as he investigates the suspicious drowning of a visiting drama professor. Ryan's portrayal of campus sexual assault is skillfully anchored by the well-drawn characters of Tosca and narcissistic campus administrator Edward Tarrant. Another compelling entry in a series known for wrapping timely social issues in realistic danger.--Tran, Christine Copyright 2016 Booklist
Library Journal Review
When Boston investigative TV reporter Jane Ryland witnesses a hit-and-run accident and sees the driver's face, she has no idea how complicated her life will get. Immersing herself with her new producer in a documentary about college sexual assaults, Jane makes a personal connection with a reclusive young victim. As the documentary proceeds, Jane finds herself tangled in messy legal proceedings involving the accident. She then receives several anonymous threats warning her to be silent, but Jane is unsure if they are connected to the hit-and-run or to her film. In the meantime, her fiancé, homicide detective Jake Brogan, is investigating the suspicious drowning death of a local visiting professor. Will Jane and Jake find that their work lives are once again intertwined despite their attempts to draw substantial boundaries between work and home? Verdict Ryan does it again in her fifth Jane Ryland thriller (after What You See), delivering a fast-paced, edgy mystery that seems ripped from the headlines.
