His Hands Were Quiet - Workman, P. D.

. .

Résumé :
From USA Today Bestselling Author, P.D. Workman! He's better off dead anyway. Hired to investigate the death of an autistic boy in a treatment facility, PI Zachary Goldman is concerned about the therapies he sees there. While he is assured that the children there are not actually being hurt, his investigation leads to the discovery of even deeper institutional abuses. Battling the ghosts of his own past, Zachary fights to uncover the facility's dark secrets and to get as many children as he can out of harm's way. ?????????? The way that PD Workman showed the autistic perspective in contrast to the mainstream views about us was lovely. I appreciated it more than I can express in words. She did thorough research on multiple sides of the issue and it shows. She gives multiple autistic perspectives, not just one, and the way they were presented brought me to tears multiple times ... The story itself was a solid mystery with many exciting twists and turns along the way. Even if I wasn't personally invested in the topic (being autistic myself and having autistic children), I still would've enjoyed it as a mystery. I'm extremely likely to pick up more of her books now that I've read this one! Zachary Goldman, Private Investigator, is flawed with a capital F. Shattered by the tragedies of his own life, he will somehow still manage to pick himself up and dig just a little bit deeper than anyone else to find the vital clues. Maybe being broken makes it easier for others who have faced tragedy to trust him. Walk with Zachary as he solves cases that will stretch his abilities to the limit. Even with his own life in shambles, Zachary Goldman is still the one you want on the case. Investigate this P.I. mystery now!...
