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.
Advance Praise
Praise for Linwood Barclay’s BROKEN PROMISE:
“Linwood’s adept characterizations and knack for unsettling twists make this a surefire bestseller.”—Publishers Weekly
“Barclay builds considerable suspense over the baby business, and resolves it in a Grand Guignol frenzy.”—New York Times Book Review
“Linwood Barclay didn’t invent the dark family thriller, but he might as well have based on the brilliant BROKEN PROMISE. Barclay’s latest places him squarely alongside Harlan Coben and Lisa Gardner as the very best at crafting the suburban nightmare novel….Riveting, relentless, and irresistible.”—Providence Journal
“Linwood Barclay returns to the small town of Promise Falls…delivering another gripping tale.”—The Associated Press
“A true master of suspense is back on the scene, and this is another book that can go directly into the suspense lover’s hall of fame….Very fast, completely action-packed with not one second of boredom to be found, readers will love the amazing ending."—Suspense Magazine
“Barclay maintains his high standards and his penchant for unusual, yet believable twists in BROKEN PROMISE…Barclay…continues his penchant for delving into American small towns, creating believable settings that pack an emotional wallop….Promise Falls isn't the town most of us would want to live in, but we can't wait to revisit.”—South Florida Sun-Sentinel
“Barclay’s Promise Falls, a deceptively quaint little town, again teems with dark secrets, and with this fast-paced and irresistibly tense outing, David Harwood has established himself as a fine series lead.”—Booklist
“Fast-paced with taut writing, this solid novel is a winner.”—RT Book Reviews, 4 stars!
