Publisher's Summary:
From New York Times and number one international best-selling author Linwood Barclay comes a new, stand-alone 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 afterward 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.
Critic Reviews:
"A tough-minded crime novel about the dangers of vigilantism.... Real crimes, unspeakably nasty ones, including murder, figure in this well-built novel." (
The New York Times Book Review)
"Fans know to expect a twist from Linwood Barclay and they get more than one here. Those of us hooked on [Promise Falls] can hope that trilogy or no, Cal and the town make another appearance at some point." (
The Globe and Mail)
"Billed as a stand-alone spinoff of Barclay's Promise Falls trilogy, the new book has a stripped-down, tautly focused quality.... Barclay's latest small-town thriller is one of his best." (
Kirkus Reviews)

Duckworth and Weaver Return in Yet Another Promise Falls Based Novel
Marketed as book four in the Promise Falls series (which makes little sense as previously the series was called a trilogy and also there are way more than three other books set in Promise Falls with the exact same reoccurring main characters). Final Assignment, Too Close to Home, Never Look Away, Broken Promise, Far From True are five examples that aren't officially part of the trilogy now four book series set in Promise Falls whose plot outcomes are mentioned in those books by characters. This one works a little better than the former trilogy books though in that it concentrates on just two characters for the most part. Detective Duckworth and Cal Weaver have parallel occurring storylines. Duckworth has a guy come into his office who claims he was abducted by aliens and can't remember the last four days, and unbeknownst to him has a message tattooed on his back. Weaver has been hired by a rich family to be a personal security guard for "The Big Baby". A teen who got off going to jail for running over a teenage girl in a stolen Porsche because his defence team successfully argued he had been too pampered in life by his mother to know what he was doing was wrong. Understandably the general public isn't happy about this and he's been hidden in Promise Falls to try and avoid the hate groups. Only he's too stupid to not give away where he is. His mother and other relatives aren't much brighter.
