Synopsis
Going back is never easy . . . Adam Chase has spent the last five years in New York trying to forget. When he left North Carolina, Adam left for good. Now he has no choice but to return - and being remembered as a murderer doesn't help.
Within hours of arriving, Adam is beaten up, accosted and has to face the hostility of those closest to him, including Grace, the young woman he cannot forget. Nothing has changed. And then people start turning up dead. For a man only just acquitted of murder, Adam's homecoming does not go well. And he has a dark streak, a history of violence.
Everyone doubts. No one trusts him. And as the past threatens to overshadow the present, Adam becomes the prime suspect for the new murders. He alone can clear his name.

Review
'I don't always agree with the Richard & Judy recommendations, but this time I am with them all the way. This book is a really classy thriller, with a plot that is complex and beguiling without being too convoluted ... Whenever I thought that I had unravelled the plot, another twist left me flummoxed, and the solution had me blinking with surprise and admiration' (Matthew Lewin, Guardian)
[Hart] explores betrayal and forgiveness in indelible prose (Observer)
Hart spins a clever mystery and keeps skilful control of his plot (Sunday Telegraph)
'Hart builds the suspense of this whodunit expertly' (Douglas Wight, News of the World)
'A Chandleresque thriller' (Sunday Times)
'A heart-pounding thriller that explores the dark side of human nature' (Metro)
'A gripping thriller full of twists and turns' (Oldham Evening Chronicle)
'Hart proves here he is certainly no one-hit wonder' (Good Book Guide)
'This is a big, warm-hearted novel' (Natasha Cooper, Crime Time)
The story works both as a suspenseful whodunit and as a sensitive rumination on the emotional force of family dynamics (Washington Post)
