《什麼都別說：北愛爾蘭謀殺與記憶的真實故事》2019年美國國家書評人協會獎2019年喬治．歐威爾獎2020年亞瑟．羅斯圖書獎金獎2019年歐巴馬最愛書籍《紐約時報》暢銷書亞馬遜近九千讀者4.6顆星好評Goodreads逾八萬讀者4.5顆星好評「1972那年，三十八歲的寡婦珍．麥康維爾（Jean McConville）膝下十子，蒙面入侵者在貝爾法斯特將她從家裡強行帶走。這本書是步調如小說般緊湊的精密報導，基夫以麥康維爾的謀殺案為主軸，牽引出北愛爾蘭問題的歷史。他訪問了衝突雙方的參與者，將那個時代悲劇的毀滅與虛耗轉化成鏗鏘有力、引人入勝的長篇故事。」──《紐約時報書評》（New York Times Book Review） 珍．麥康維爾（Jean McConville）綁架案，可說是北愛問題血腥衝突中極惡名昭彰的事件之一。當地人都知道愛爾蘭共和軍（Irish Republican Army，簡稱IRA）是幕後主謀，但是在恐懼與為理想癡狂的氛圍下，沒有人敢挺身而出。2003年，北愛爾蘭簽下協議換取得來不易的和平五年後，一處海灘上尋獲了一具人類骨骸。麥康維爾家的孩子一聽說死者的洋裝上別有一個藍色安全別針，就知道那正是他們的母親。因為家裡孩子眾多，她總是隨身別著別針，方便固定尿布或破損的衣物。 派崔克．拉登．基夫這本令人著迷的著作，書名啟發自北愛爾蘭詩人薛穆斯．希尼（Seamus Heaney）的詩作〈無論說什麼，說了等於沒說〉（Whatever You Say, Say Nothing），敘述北愛爾蘭充滿怨恨的衝突與其後續影響。全書以麥康維爾案開場，描寫受到血腥游擊戰摧毀的社會，而這場戰爭的後果從未得到重視。殘酷的暴力衝突，不僅讓麥康維爾家的孩子留下永遠的創傷──苦苦盼到的和平與愛爾蘭統一的目標差距甚遠，讓愛爾蘭共和軍的成員滿腔怒火，而其犯下的殺人罪行究竟是可以被合理化的戰爭行為？還是單純的謀殺？ 《什麼都別說》以令人驚嘆、錯綜複雜的手法描寫北愛爾蘭惡名昭彰的殺人事件與其破壞力極強的後果，用文字編織出一個充滿熱忱、背叛、復仇和悲痛的世界。書中栩栩如生記錄了激進又魯莽的愛爾蘭共和軍恐怖分子，如桃樂絲．普萊斯（Dolours Price），年紀輕輕就在倫敦發動炸彈攻擊、揪出必須處死的告密者。還有令人聞風喪膽的共和軍精神領袖「黑人」布蘭登．休斯（Brendan Hughe
