"From the New York Times bestselling author of No Safe House comes an explosive novel about the disturbing secrets of a quiet small town... After his wife's death and the collapse of his newspaper, David Harwood has no choice but to uproot his nine-year-old son and move back into his childhood home in Promise Falls, New York. David believes his life is in free fall, and he can't find a way to stop his descent. Then he comes across a family secret of epic proportions. A year after a devastating miscarriage, David's cousin Marla has continued to struggle. But when David's mother asks him to check on her, he's horrified to discover that she's been secretly raising a child who is not her own-a baby she claims was a gift from an "angel" left on her porch. When the baby's real mother is found murdered, David can't help wanting to piece together what happened-even if it means proving his own cousin's guilt. But as he uncovers each piece of evidence, David realizes that Marla's mysterious child is just the tip of the iceberg. Other strange things are happening. Animals are found ritually slaughtered. An ominous abandoned Ferris wheel seems to stand as a warning that something dark has infected Promise Falls. And someone has decided that the entire town must pay for the sins of its past... in blood"--… (mer)

Tricked yet again into believing I had a stand alone in my hands I powered my way through this book. It is easily the best book I have so far this year. Now I have to wait for one of the 45 copies that the library has to come back. I hate trilogies. ( )

David Harwood sta assistendo impotente allo sgretolarsi inesorabile della propria vita. Dopo la morte della moglie e la chiusura del giornale per cui lavorava, rimasto solo con il figlio di nove anni è costretto a trasferirsi a casa dei genitori a Promise Falls, la cittadina in cui è cresciuto. Quella che sembra essere un'esistenza destinata a un anonimo fallimento intraprende però una direzione inaspettata quanto tragica. Un giorno come gli altri, David si reca in visita dalla cugina Maria, devastata dal dolore in seguito a una gravidanza che non ha potuto portare a termine. La scena che si paventa davanti ai suoi occhi è agghiacciante: sul pavimento dell'ingresso ci sono delle macchie di sangue e in casa, sommersa dal disordine, Maria sta cullando un bambino. "È il dono di un angelo" gli dice lei, imperturbabile. Quando, di lì a poco, la madre naturale del piccolo viene trovata assassinata, David non può far altro che cercare di capire cosa sia accaduto, anche se ciò può significare provare la colpevolezza della cugina. Scoprirà che la morte di quella donna non è altro che la punta dell'iceberg in una vicenda che, indizio dopo indizio, si rivelerà sempre più torva. Nel frattempo strani e inquietanti eventi sconvolgono Promise Falls, come se tutti i suoi abitanti dovessero scontare il prezzo di peccati del passato, e pagarlo con il sangue. Perché i segreti possono essere sepolti... ma mai dimenticati. ( )

Visiting his cousin Marla after she bore a stillborn baby, David Harwood finds her with a baby she says an angel brought her. The baby's mother was murdered, but did Marla kill her?

The murder is connected somehow with a cold case and certain mysterious goings on involving mannequins at an abandoned amusement park and ritual killings of animals but the explanation is in the next book or the one after that. The investigation of Marla's involvement (or not) was well done, but I felt cheated by the cliffhanger ending, so I will not be continuing. ( )

Yet another winner from Linwood Barclay. And as usual, yet another box of surprises to keep you guessing until the end. Even though it's a series, this didn't end with a cliffhanger, so it's not something that lures you on that way; rather, it lured me on because it was so good, I wanted to read more.

This was a well-done audiobook version, by the way. If you aren't a regular audiobook reader, this would be a good one to get you hooked. ( )

Une femme est trouvée morte assassinée dans sa maison et Marla est soupçonnée d’avoir enlevé le bébé et tué la femme. Finalement le bébé est à Marla qui lui a été enlevé à sa naissance par sa mère et le médecin. Ils l’ont vendu au couple dont la femme s’est fait assassinée et lui ont fait croire que le bébé était décédé ( )
