"silent words..." is a notebook kept by O'Ryan Ross to chronicle his final tragic days. But more than that - it is also an armchair treasure hunt filled with a cipher and codes hidden in each chapter that lead to a real cash prize. It is a hybrid book - part fiction/part game... and all intriguing.
