Perfect for you if...

You love thrillers where the protagonist is trapped in a confined setting with no good options and mounting pressure from multiple sides.
You enjoy crime fiction with real procedural stakes where characters can't simply leave town or call for help.
You appreciate Deaver's signature fast-paced plotting and the cat-and-mouse tension between ordinary people and dangerous criminals.

Maybe not for you if...

You prefer character-driven literary fiction where internal motivation matters more than plot mechanics and pacing.
You want romance as a central plot driver rather than a complicating subplot or distraction.
You dislike stories where the protagonist is primarily reactive rather than actively solving the mystery themselves.

About this book

A thriller from Jeffery Deaver featuring location scout John Pellam, who discovers a backwater Missouri town suitable for filming a retro gangster movie. When real gunfire kills two people and paralyzes a police officer, Pellam becomes an unwitting witness to the murders and is pursued as a suspect across the South. Federal agents and local law enforcement seek his testimony, while mob enforcers want him dead. A mysterious blonde woman also pursues him for unclear reasons. Trapped in a town concealing dangerous secrets, Pellam must identify and confront the killer before his own fate is sealed.
