Synopsis

THE INSPIRATION FOR THE UPCOMING CBS ORIGINAL SERIES TRACKER

“The master of ticking-bomb suspense” (People) returns with a devilishly good thriller, and reward seeker Colter Shaw's most personal case to date.

Just hours after the harrowing events of The Never Game and The Goodbye Man, Colter Shaw finds himself in San Francisco, where he has taken on the mission his father began years ago: finding a missing courier bag containing evidence that will bring down a corporate espionage firm responsible for hundreds, perhaps thousands, of deaths.

Following the enigmatic clues his father left behind, Shaw plays cat and mouse with the company's sadistic enforcers, as he speeds from one gritty neighborhood in the City by the Bay to another. Suddenly, the job takes on a frightening urgency: Only by finding the courier bag can he expose the company and stop the murder of an entire family—slated to die in forty-eight hours.

With the help of an unexpected figure from his past, and with the enforcers closing the net, Shaw narrows in on the truth—and learns that the courier bag contains something unexpected: a secret that could only be described as catastrophic.

Filled with dozens of twists and reversals, The Final Twist is a nonstop race against time to save the family...and to keep the devastating secret Shaw has uncovered from falling into the wrong hands.

Goodreads review by Gary on May 15, 2021

This is the third full length novel I have read in this series as well as a couple of novellas and although I enjoy Jeffery Deaver books I have struggled to really get into Colter Shaw. I really enjoyed the second book ‘The Goodbye man’ but the others have failed to capture my imagination. I am a bi......more

A long-time fan of Deaver’s quirky, twisty mysteries I was pleased to see the introduction of a new crime fighter, Colter Shaw in The Never Game. Shaw finds missing people, ostensibly for the rewards offered by friends or family members, though he often fails to collect the this. It also kicked off......more

The Final Twist is the third instalment in the Colter Shaw Thriller series, set in San Francisco, California.

Goodreads review by Bruce on July 19, 2021

An interesting choice of title from the man who is the master of multiple plot twists. Sadly, it seems to suggest that this the third book in this exciting series could also be the last. This is a far more fast-moving series than the author’s best known one. Hardly surprising, considering that Lincol......more

In the past stories of Shaw, we found that his father, a survivalist, had been killed by a mysterious group. In Final Twist, we see the full story develop as Colter teams up with his older brother, Russell to take on a Billionaire who has plans on taking over the political landscape of California by......more
