From the New York Times bestselling author of No Safe House comes an explosive novel about the disturbing secrets of a quiet small townโฆ
After his wifeโs death and the collapse of his newspaper, David Harwood has no choice but to uproot his nine-year-old son and move back into his childhood home in Promise Falls, New York. David believes his life is in free fall, and he canโt find a way to stop his descent.
Then he comes across a family secret of epic proportions. A year after a devastating miscarriage, Davidโs cousin Marla has continued to struggle. But when Davidโs mother asks him to check on her, heโs horrified to discover that sheโs been secretly raising a child who is not her ownโa baby she claims was a gift from an โangelโ left on her porch.
When the babyโs real mother is found murdered, David canโt help wanting to piece together what happenedโeven if it means proving his own cousinโs guilt. But as he uncovers each piece of evidence, David realizes that Marlaโs mysterious child is just the tip of the iceberg.
Other strange things are happening. Animals are found ritually slaughtered. An ominous abandoned Ferris wheel seems to stand as a warning that something dark has infected Promise Falls. And someone has decided that the entire town must pay for the sins of its pastโฆin blood.
