New York Times and #1 international bestselling
author Linwood Barclay delivers the second spine-chilling
thriller set in the troubled town of Promise Falls,
following the electrifying cliffhanger ending of Broken
Promise...
After the screen of a run-down drive-in movie theater
collapses and kills four people, the daughter of one of the
victims asks private investigator Cal Weaver to look into a
recent break-in at her father’s house. Cal discovers a
hidden basement room where it’s clear that salacious
activities have taken place—as well as evidence of missing
DVDs. But his investigation soon becomes more complicated
when he realizes it may not be discs the thief was actually
interested in....
Meanwhile, Detective Barry Duckworth is still trying to
solve two murders—one of which is three years old—he
believes are connected, since each featured a similar
distinctive wound.
As the lies begin to unravel, Cal is headed straight into
the heart of a dark secret as his search uncovers more
startling truths about Promise Falls. And when yet another
murder happens, Cal and Barry are both driven to pursue
their investigations, no matter where they lead. Evil deeds
long thought buried are about to haunt the residents of this
town—as the sins of the past and present collide with
terrifying results.
