At the center of it all is six-year-old Danny McCray, a strange and silent child the townspeople regard with fear and superstition, and who appears to bring illness and ruin to those around him. Even his own mother is plagued by a disease that is slowly consuming her.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSheriff Jim Kent, increasingly aware of the whispers and rumors surrounding the boy, has watched the people of his town suffer--and he worries someone might take drastic action to protect their loved ones.

In the search that follows, everyone is a suspect, and the consequences of finding the two brothers may be worse than not finding them at all.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Burley\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0062431854\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780062431851\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e William Morrow \u0026amp; Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/08\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.30w x 0.70d","brand":"John Burley","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43913296707839,"sku":"9780062431851","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_8dc4270e-058c-467b-b422-7d3917a0e715.jpg?v=1680617843","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-quiet-child-john-burley-9780062431851","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
