Landay is the king of the great story with the kicker in the tail. From the prologue in this one, I was hooked. Our protagonist Ben Truman, chief of police in the small town of Mission Flats, Maine, may be accused of being a little slow on the uptake at times but he’s a good guy – or is he? Just wait and see. I like Landay’s Defending Jacob better but this one is also very very good.
