From the Sunday Times bestselling author comes a pulse-pounding thriller about justice, vengeance and the roads that lead us home.

No one gets this big without amazing natural storytelling talent - which is what Jim has, in spades — LEE CHILD

Cross Rivers is the kind of small town where everyone knows your name – and your secrets.

Silas Tucker was destined for glory until a devastating accident brought him back to the place where his life fell apart. His father was gunned down on a deserted country road when Silas was just a boy. The killer never brought to justice.

Now, teenage girls are vanishing and the Southern Mafia's shadow looms over his hometown.

The community is terrified. The police need help. And Silas Tucker has nothing left to lose.

When the law isn't enough, sometimes you have to take justice into your own hands.

James Patterson is The Boss — IAN RANKIN

Patterson knows where our deepest fears are buried... there's no stopping his imagination — NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW
