Parting Shot
(OverDrive MP3 Audiobook, OverDrive Listen)
If you made a mistake that took someone's life, you'd remember it . . . wouldn't you?
After a tragedy rocks the community of Promise Falls, Cal Weaver is asked to investigate the threats being made to the accused's family. He's heard all about it on the news: the young man who drank too much, stole a Porsche and killed a girl, and who claimed afterwards not to remember a single thing. The whole town is outraged that he got off lightly, but for reasons Cal can't explain, he accepts the job. Then Cal finds himself caught up in a vicious revenge plot, chasing someone set on delivering retribution. In Cal's experience, it's only ever a matter of time before threats turn into action. . . .
A gripping thriller packed with scandal, from the master of the twist you never saw coming.

Starred review from August 7, 2017
Brian Gaffney, a confused young man who was picked up by the police wandering around downtown Promise Falls, has a strange tale to share with Det. Barry Duckworth, in bestseller Barclay’s outstanding fourth thriller set in the upstate New York town (after 2016’s The Twenty-Three). Brian has no idea where he has been for two days, and someone has tattooed a threatening message onto his back. Meanwhile, PI Cal Weaver has recently returned to town, and one of his first clients, Madeline Plimpton, wants his advice on how to safeguard her 18-year-old great-nephew, Jeremy Pilford. Jeremy is receiving death threats via revenge websites because he received only probation after being convicted of killing a young woman while driving drunk, based on the defense that he was too pampered to know right from wrong. Barclay adroitly blends themes of internet vitriol and simmering societal rage with a taut plot full of sly hints, unexpected twists, and red herrings. With access to both investigations, readers can make some connections before the characters do, but Barclay has surprises in store for readers and his leads alike. Agent: Helen Heller, Helen Heller Agency (Canada).

Starred review from October 1, 2017
In the dark aftermath of mass killings in their (fictional) upstate New York town of Promise Falls, police detective Barry Duckworth and PI Cal Weaver find themselves on parallel tracks while investigating the targeting of two local young men by vigilantes.The vigilantes participate in a website called Just Desserts that promotes the punishment of alleged wrongdoers who have escaped prosecution by posting their whereabouts and other personal information about them. Duckworth is investigating the abduction of 20-something Brian Gaffney, who, after disappearing for two days that he can't account for, was found with a murder confession crudely tattooed on his back. Weaver has been hired to protect 18-year-old Jeremy Pilford, mocked nationwide as "The Big Baby" for dodging a vehicular homicide conviction based on the defense that he was so pampered from birth he couldn't be held responsible for his actions. The plot is driven by secrets Duckworth's own 25-year-old son, Trevor, is keeping about the company Jeremy's "old stock" great-aunt has been keeping. Billed as a stand-alone spinoff of Barclay's Promise Falls trilogy, the new book has a stripped-down, tautly focused quality that lifts it above its plot-stuffed, heavily populated predecessors. The personal lives of Duckworth and Weaver, both of whom are haunted by the tragic events in The Twenty-Three (2016), matter more than before. But that isn't to say the spinoff doesn't hook you from the start, springing neat surprises you likely won't see coming.Barclay's latest small-town thriller is one of his best.COPYRIGHT(2017) Kirkus Reviews, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.
