updated Oct 04, 2012 05:38pm
Description:
This is the first chapter of my new dark thriller, Nobody Has to Know, which tells the story of Cameron Baldridge, a popular high school teacher whose relationship with one of his students leads him down an unfortunate and self-destructive path. Stalked through text-messages, Baldridge fights for his life against a terrifying extortion plot and the forces that threaten to expose him. Nobody Has To Know is a sobering look into a world of secrets, lies, and shocking revelations, and will leave the reader wondering many things, including whether or not you can ever really know the person you love.

"All in all, “Nobody Has to Know” was a great book, and I’d read any of Frank Nappi’s books. He’s a great author, and while this was an uncomfortable subject, he was brave enough to cover it, and still remain interesting the entire way through, and gave a great story line that dealt with real life things."http://fiveinohio.com/2013/02/nobody-...
"I applaud Frank Nappi for the thought and time he put into this book. It will definitely make you wonder if you really know those that you surround yourself with. The words “Nobody Has to Know” will most likely take on a whole new meaning after reading this story."http://whatutalkingboutwillis.info/20...

Echoes from the Infantry by Frank Nappi was the last book I read on my e-reader this week. I blame Frank for my whoosi feeling of being just a few inches above the floor. He always leaves me this way. I open up his books knowing that the story line is going to be this or that. But no Frank does not play by the rules. He changes your mind, makes you stretch your emotions and discover the path not taken. http://theysayimnuts.blogspot.com/201...
