Synopsis

From New York Times bestselling author Linwood Barclay comes an explosive novel set in the peaceful small town of Promise Falls, where secrets can always be buried—but never forgotten … After his wife’s death and the loss of his job, David Harwood moves back into his childhood home in Promise Falls, New York—where he comes across a shocking family secret.  David finds his cousin Marla, raising a child who is not her own—a baby she claims was a gift from an “angel” left on her porch. When the baby’s real mother is found murdered, David can’t help wanting to figure out what happened—even if it means proving his cousin’s guilt. Marla’s mysterious child is just the tip of the iceberg. Other strange things are happening. An abandoned Ferris wheel stands as an ominous warning. And someone has decided that the entire town must pay for the sins of its past. … “A true master is back on the scene, and this is another book that can go directly into the suspense lover’s hall of fame.”—Suspense Magazine

I was going to give this one a 3.5, but decided to round it up due solely to the last page. Talk about wanting more! I'm not going to summarize the plot because it was complicated and intensive. There were multiple storylines crossing and coming together at the end in typical Barclay form. This is th......more
