Description
From the bestselling author of Just Stay Away comes a haunting thriller about a rising politician whose shadowy past threatens to end his career—and his future shot at the presidency.
What happens at the cabin stays at the cabin. Right?
Andrew Harrison “Harry” Leonard is destined for politics. Getting his start on the Rochester City Council, he quickly rose to become the youngest representative in Congress. Now the up-and-comer from Minnesota is on the brink of something big. If all goes well, he’ll be in perfect position to aim for the presidency.
Then a postcard arrives, blank except for the name on the address: Andy Leonard. Harry hasn’t used that name since high school. Krista Walsh, Harry’s chief of staff, recognizes his old moniker, and when he dodges questions about it, she wonders what he’s trying to hide. She soon discovers the lake pictured on the postcard holds secrets too.
Krista’s investigation into Harry’s past uncovers the truth of what happened one fateful teenage summer. But as disturbing details come to light, how far will Krista go to keep Harry’s career—and her own—headed to the top?

“The perfect follow-up to Wirt’s thrilling Just Stay Away, Pike Island delivers a breakneck read from the first chapter all the way to Wirt’s delivery of the best twist I’ve read this year. I loved this book!” —Elle Marr, Amazon Charts bestselling author of The Alone Time and Your Dark Secrets
“With shades of House of Cards and I Know What You Did Last Summer, Tony Wirt’s Pike Island elegantly dances between past and present, gradually cracking open to reveal the ‘real’ story behind a picture-perfect politician on a meteoric rise and the boyhood secrets he’s worked hard to bury. Wirt’s immersive writing, clever twists, and layered examinations of loyalty, greed, and ambition’s darkest corners will make you want to read this pulse-pounding, utterly satisfying thriller in one sitting.” —Kathleen Willett, author of Anything for a Friend
“Pike Island is everything you want in a thriller. A compelling plot, great characters, and a storyline that sweeps you along. I devoured it in a single sitting. Absolutely loved it.” —Cate Quinn, author of The Clinic
