Synopsis

New York Times bestselling author Joseph Finder's breakneck stand-alone thriller about the secrets families can keep--and the danger of their discovery.

When former investigative reporter Rick Hoffman loses his job, fiancée, and apartment, his only option is to move back into--and renovate--the home of his miserable youth, now empty and in decay since the stroke that put his father in a nursing home.

As Rick starts to pull apart the old house, he makes an electrifying discovery--millions of dollars hidden in the walls. It's enough money to completely transform Rick's life--and everything he thought he knew about his father. Yet the more of his father's hidden past that Rick brings to light, the more dangerous his present becomes. Soon, he finds himself on the run from deadly enemies desperate to keep the past buried, and only solving the mystery of his father--a man who has been unable to communicate, comprehend, or care for himself for almost 20 years--will save Rick...if he can survive long enough to do it.

"Joseph Finder takes a familiar story and gives it a unique spin in his latest page-turner, The Fixer."--Associated Press

"Joseph Finder has written a tense, fast-moving thriller bearing the warning that there may be things you don't know and should know about your family."--Washington Times

"Adroitly told with a riveting cast of three-dimensional characters and enlightening reveals aplenty, Finder's latest standalone should be on everyone's summer reading list."--The Strand Magazine

"Joe Finder moves from action to psychological thriller in his scintillating, Boston-based new novel...There's a wondrous noir aspect to The Fixer that also recalls Dennis Lehane at his best.
