Mystery
From the acclaimed New York Times
bestselling author of The Intruders and The Straw
Men comes a nerve-shattering story of guilt, rage,
deadly secrets, and very, very . . . bad things
Three years ago, lawyer John Henderson
watched his four-year-old son tumble from a jetty into the
lake outside their Washington home. In a terrible instant, a
life all too brief and innocent ended. But it wasn't
drowning, the fall, or even some previously undetected
internal defect that killed the little boy. Scott Henderson
had simply, inexplicably . . . died. Today,
John is a different man—divorced, living a solitary
existence in a beach house in Oregon, working as a waiter in
a restaurant that caters to the summer crowd. Withdrawn from
a life and past too painful to revisit, he touches no one
and no one touches him. Then one night he receives a short
and profoundly disturbing e-mail message from a stranger. It
reads: I know what happened. It's enough to
pull John back to Black Ridge—the one place on earth he'd
hoped never to return to—in search of answers to the mystery
that shattered his world. In this small, isolated Pacific
Northwest community, populated in large part by descendants
of the original settlers, the shadows now seem even darker
and more sinister than when tragedy first drove him away—and
the wind whipping down out of the primal forest can chill a
man to his soul. It seems that bad things have always
happened in this town of generations-old secrets—and are
happening still. The deeper John digs into his own
past, and into local history, the more danger he draws
toward himself . . . and toward his estranged and helpless
family. And though he doesn't know it, he's not the only one
who's been called back to Black Ridge. And that's a
very bad thing . . . A twisting, relentlessly
thrilling, and consistently surprising novel of
psychological suspense, Michael Marshall's Bad Things
is a masterwork of chilling brilliance that will keep the
reader guessing right to the final page. Bad things don't
just happen to other people. They're waiting to happen to
you, too.
