Say Nothing

A True Story of Murder and Memory in Northern Ireland

Say Nothing examines the 1972 disappearance and murder of Jean McConville, a Belfast widow and mother of ten, during the Troubles in Northern Ireland. Patrick Radden Keefe follows the case across decades, connecting it to the activities of the IRA, British intelligence, and prominent political figures. The book traces how violence, secrecy, and conflicting accounts of the past shaped families and communities on both sides of the conflict.
