Suspense
From Dirt to The Cleanup, Sean
Doolittle has dazzled critics and defied expectations,
garnering bolder critical raves with each new
novel. “Stylishly written” hailed the New York Times
Book Review… “Superb” declared the Wall Street
Journal…“Heart-stopping, gut-clenching, eye-opening”
raved the Chicago Tribune. Now Doolittle fulfills
all that promise—and more—in his latest novel, a
powerhouse of suspense that will catch you off guard at
every turn.…Because in Safer, a young couple
moves into an idyllic little cul-de- sac—and ignites a
harrowing journey into darkness as a shocking accusation
is made, a family is shattered, and the mystery of a long-
ago crime begins to unravel.
For Paul
Callaway and his wife, Sara, moving from the East Coast to
a quiet midwestern town was a major adjustment. But right
from the start, Paul has tried to fit in. He’s played golf
with the guys. He’s even joined the Neighborhood Patrol,
grabbing a flashlight and a walkie-talkie to make these
neatly tended streets even safer. Then Paul makes one
mistake—and now they want him gone. But nothing could have
prepared Paul and Sara for the quarrel that has erupted
between Paul and a neighbor—the self-appointed leader of
the Neighborhood Patrol. Or for the next outrage, as
police arrest Paul for a sordid crime he didn’t commit.
Suddenly Paul’s life, university career, and marriage are
at risk, as he finds himself locked in a desperate fight
with an angry man, a dark conspiracy, and a secret that
began with a child’s disappearance ten years before.
