Book Description
After the screen of a run-down drive-in movie theater collapses and kills four people, the daughter of one of the victims asks private investigator Cal Weaver to look into a recent break-in at her father's house. Cal discovers a hidden basement room where it's clear that salacious activities have taken place--as well as evidence of missing DVDs. But his investigation soon becomes more complicated when he realizes it may not be discs the thief was actually interested in....
Meanwhile, Detective Barry Duckworth is still trying to solve two murders--one of which is three years old--he believes are connected, since each featured a similar distinctive wound.
As the lies begin to unravel, Cal is headed straight into the heart of a dark secret as his search uncovers more startling truths about Promise Falls. And when yet another murder happens, Cal and Barry are both driven to pursue their investigations, no matter where they lead. Evil deeds long thought buried are about to haunt the residents of this town--as the sins of the past and present collide with terrifying results.
My Review
This Barclay book has it all: over-the-top sex, gory blood, exciting plot, lots of crazy characters and twists and turns you never see coming. It's hard-to-put down once you start reading until the very end. Speaking of ending, it was a surprise, cliff-hanger that waters your mouth for the 3rd book in the series. This book is part of a trilogy, so I suggest that you start with the 1st book, Broken Promise, so you can keep a scorecard for the many characters that are expanded in the 2nd book. I recommend this trilogy as I am a loyal fan of Barclay but if over-the-top sex and gory blood bother you, then don't read this but if you are a fan of Barclay, then you just have to read it and forgive him.
