Glen, a contractor, has seen his business shaken by the housing crisis, and now his wife, Sheila, is taking a business course at night to increase her chances of landing a good-paying job. But she should have been home by now. Waiting for Sheila's return, with their eight-year-old daughter sleeping soundly, Glen soon finds his worst fears confirmed: Sheila and two others have been killed in a car accident. Adding to the tragedy, the police claim Sheila was responsible. Glen knows it is impossible. When he investigates, Glen begins to uncover layers of lawlessness beneath the placid surface of their suburb, secret after dangerous secret behind the closed doors. Propelled into a vortex of corruption and illegal activity, pursued by mysterious killers, and confronted by threats from neighbors he thought he knew, Glen must take his own desperate measures and go to terrifying new places in himself to avenge his wife and protect his child. -- From publisher's web site.

Add a CommentI got this book from the library (Ancaster) on Saturday and i finished today (Sunday) on Saturday i read 9 hours straight! Today 4 hours straight. The book was amazing and if i were you i would read this book. AMAZING 5/5
As with all his books - this was an incredibly good one!! The plot, characters and non-stop action were mesmerizing. Couldn't put it down. Read and returned in two days for the other 50 waiting in line. Worth the wait.
This BOOK was okay – but not one of my favorites.
My 1st Linwood Barclay read and I am now hooked! This was a fast paced, totally twisted plot that hits you right between the eyes! It was hard to put down after just the 1st chapter. Enjoy!
Gave up at chapter 3, he jumps around too much without a lead-in.
Not as suspensful as some of his other books and a bit predictable as well. It was okay but not memorable and certainly not Award worthy in my opinion.
This book is really good i usually read books extremely slow because i cant get hooked on to the story but when i read Barclay's books i cant put them down. He is an amazing writer. im not done this book but i read 16 chapters in 2 days and 16 chapters usually takes me like 5 days to read. He knows how to make an awesome mystery book. When i met him on a school trip he started talking about fear the worst and i just got caught on as soon as i got home i rented it out i read that book in 1 month. Then the other day i decided to see if he had any other books so i rented this one out. i can honestly say that Linwood Barclay is my favourite author ever. :)
To date I have really liked all his books. this one was really really great, had a hard tie putting it down. Cannot wait for the next one to come out!
Another great thriller by Linwood Barclay. This easy, fast paced story was hard to put down.
Definitely a page turner. It was a scenario that any one of us could have ended up. Great book!
