Promise Falls (Linwood Barclay)

Investigating a break-in at the home of an accident victim, private investigator Cal Weaver finds evidence of the thief's interest in the victim's salacious private life, while Detective Barry Duckworth checks out two possibly related murders before making a horrific discovery tied to Cal's case.

A standalone spin-off from the Promise Falls trilogy finds Cal Weaver investigating threats made against an accused killer's family in spite of local outrage, a case that embroils him in a vicious revenge plot.
