Synopsis

For Paul Callaway and his wife, Sara, moving from the East Coast to a quiet midwestern town was a major adjustment. But right from the start, Paul has tried to fit in. He’s played golf with the guys. He’s even joined the Neighborhood Patrol, grabbing a flashlight and a walkie-talkie to make these neatly tended streets even safer. Then Paul makes one mistake—and now they want him gone. But nothing could have prepared Paul and Sara for the quarrel that has erupted between Paul and a neighbor—the self-appointed leader of the Neighborhood Patrol. Or for the next outrage, as police arrest Paul for a sordid crime he didn’t commit.Suddenly Paul’s life, university career, and marriage are at risk, as he finds himself locked in a desperate fight with an angry man, a dark conspiracy, and a secret that began with a child’s disappearance ten years before.

Goodreads review by Kelly

This book jumps back and forth over several months. It opens with the main character being arrested and goes on to explain how he's been set up (or so he says) by a neighbor of his, Roger, who is (of course) the most beloved man in town. It's a very suspenseful book and I had a hard time putting it d......more

Goodreads review by Atef

Sécurité renforcée, c'est avant tout une idée brillante et dans l'air du temps : celle de l'obsession sécuritaire et ses dérives, transposée à l'échelle d'un petit quartier américain sans histoires. Faut-il renoncer à une partie de ses libertés pour avoir un minimum de sécurité en plus. Le sujet prê......more
