From New York Times and #1 international bestselling author Linwood Barclay comes a new, standalone blockbuster thriller that spins off from the events of the explosive Promise Falls trilogy. If you made a mistake that took someone's life, you'd remember it . . . wouldn't you? After a tragedy rocks the community of Promise Falls, Cal Weaver is asked to investigate the threats being made to the accused's family. He's heard all about it on the news: the young man who drank too much, stole a Porsche and killed a girl, and who claimed afterwards not to remember a single thing. The whole town is outraged that he got off lightly, but for reasons Cal can't explain, he accepts the job. Then Cal finds himself caught up in a vicious revenge plot, chasing someone set on delivering retribution. In Cal's experience, it's only ever a matter of time before threats turn into action. . . . A gripping thriller packed with scandal, from the master of the twist you never saw coming.

Linwood Barclay is a certified master of the suburban thriller.
As this story breezes along the wind picks up, pulling with it clues, shocks and twists.
Soon we are at gale-force level suspense. And by the end we're in the eye of a full-blown hurricane of tension and uncertainty.
Cal Weaver, former Promise Falls, NY PD and now a PI, is hired to protect young Jeremy Pilford.
Jeremy is hated by just about the whole world for having recently been acquitted for running-over and killing a young woman. An act he admits he did.
Or did he?
There's a call for vigilante justice. On social media and elsewhere.
Cal's got his work cut out for him.
Promise Falls PD detective Barry Duckworth is investigating a case of a young man, Brian Gaffney, who has no recollection of the last two days but now has a bizarre tattoo on his back.
Brian has no clue as to what the inked message means.
No one else does either.
Oh, but they will find out. And so will you. Shockingly.
As the cases become connected, we're reminded why it's so darn enjoyable to read Linwood Barclay.
It's for the love of a finely-crafted tale, structured and presented perfectly.
So, so good.
The well-drawn characters are the threads that hold the fabric of this mystery together.
They feel real with flaws, foibles and dreams of regular folks.
Positively wonderful.
Thriller lovers, you can't go wrong with anything written by Linwood Barclay.
This book is a case in point!

Loved This Book
This is the third installment of Promise Falls.
Linwood does an excellent job of putting all of his characters in perspective, and accountable for their crimes.
This book is a gripping thriller packed with scandal in a small town, and Linwood Barclay does exceptionally well in telling the story.
