Product Description
This thrilling page turner follows Dana Halter, a deaf woman, fighting to reclaim her stolen identity. Both a suspenseful chase across America and a moving story about language, love and identity, Talk Talk is a masterful mind-bending novel you can't put down.
OVERVIEW
It was not until their first date that Bridger Martin learned that Dana Halter's deafness was profound and permanent. By then he was falling in love. Now she is in a courtroom, accused of assault with a deadly weapon, auto theft, and passing bad checks, among other things. As Dana and Bridger eventually learn, William "Peck" Wilson has stolen Dana's identity and has been living a blameless life of criminal excess at her expense. And as they set out to find him, they begin to test the very limits the life they have begun to build together.
"His most exciting novel yet...Boyle knows how to drill down through the surface of everyday life into our core anxieties, and he knows how to write constantly charging, heart-thumping chase scenes" - The Washington Post
"Starts off fast and never lets go-and that's fun...Boyle once again delivers an entertaining story with his usual laser commentary-about the way we identify ourselves and the role language plays" - USA Today
