From the Back Cover:

John Hart’s debut, THE KING OF LIES, catapulted him onto the New York Times bestseller list and earned comparisons to the works of Raymond Chandler, John Grisham, and Scott Turow. Now, Hart delivers another thriller of profound insight and psychological complexity with DOWN RIVER

“Truly splendid.”—Booklist (Starred Review)

Adam Chase is passionate and misunderstood, a fighter. When narrowly acquitted of a murder charge, he disappears for five long years: not a clue, not a trace. Now, he’s back and nobody knows why—not his family or the cops, not the women he left behind. But Adam has his reasons.

“The thrills come fast and furious.”—The Washington Post

When more bodies surface, Adam must unravel a web of deceit and violence so dense it staggers the imagination. Old secrets rise, lives collapse, and more than one person crosses the brink as author Hart probes the timeless, destructive power of deception and vengeance.

“Nail-biting suspense.”—Raleigh News and Observer
