One night in December 1972, Jean McConville, a mother of ten,
was abducted from her home in Belfast and never seen alive again.
Her disappearance would haunt her orphaned children, the
perpetrators of the brutal crime and a whole society in Northern
Ireland for decades.

Through the unsolved case of Jean McConville's abduction, Patrick

Radden Keefe tells the larger story of the Troubles, investigating
Dolours Price, the first woman to join the IRA, who bombed the Old
Bailey; Gerry Adams, the politician who helped end the fighting but
denied his IRA past; and Brendan Hughes, an IRA commander who
broke their code of silence. A gripping story forensically reported,
Say Nothing explores the extremes people will go to for an ideal,
and the way societies mend - or don't - after long and bloody
conflict.
