About This Book
A powerful, heart-pounding thriller from the unparalleled New York Times
bestselling and two-time Edgar Award-winning author of The Last Child
and The King of Lies, Down River will haunt your thoughts long after the
last page is turned.
Adam Chase has a violent streak, and for good reason. As a boy, he saw
things no child should witness, suffered wounds that left him
misunderstood?a fighter. Even grown, he remains dangerous and
unpredictable, so that when he narrowly beats a murder charge, he¡¯s
hounded out of town, exiled for a sin he did not commit. For five long
years, he disappears. But now he¡¯s back, and no one knows why - not his
family or the cops, not the enemies he left behind. But Adam has his
reasons. Attacked within hours of his return, the tone of his homecoming
is set. As bodies turn up and the town rises in anger, Adam again finds
himself in the fight of his life, not just to prove his innocence, but
to reclaim the only life he¡¯s ever wanted. Secrets build on secrets,
emotions tear, and more than one person crosses the brink as Hart
examines the lengths to which people will go for money, family, and
revenge.
Praise for John Hart and Down River:
"[Hart] combines gripping plots with a wonderful gift for prose,
making his books literary crowd-pleasers that appeal to the brain as
well as the emotions. There are few books published that can
legitimately be called "a must-read," but this is one of them."
--Chicago Sun Times
"If you value Harper Lee, James Lee Burke, Truman Capote, and Michael
Malone¡¦ it's time to add John Hart to your bookshelves." --Otto Penzler,
The New York Sun
"An artist adding layers of paint ... Hart takes his time, snaring the
reader with evocative storytelling and lush prose along with the usual
quota of conflict and murder." --The Boston Globe
¡°[A] complex, emotionally charged novel¡¦ Down River is a beautifully
constructed story of personal redemption, family secrets, and murder¡¦. A
truly splendid novel with a deep emotional core.¡± --Booklist (starred)
¡°The thrills come fast and furious.¡± --Washington Post
¡°Nail-biting suspense.¡± --Raleigh News and Observer
¡°Richly atmospheric¡¦ should settle once and for all the question of
whether thrillers and mysteries can also be literature.¡± =--Publishers
Weekly, starred review
"Falls squarely in the league of the best of Southern novels." --South
Florida Sun Sentinel
