No Safe House
(Adobe EPUB eBook, Kindle Book, OverDrive Read)
Description
The New York Times bestselling author delivers the follow-up to No Time for Goodbye--an electrifying novel of suspense in which a family’s troubled past is about to return in more ways than one. And this time, they may not be able to escape.…
Seven years ago, Terry Archer and his family, who first appeared in No Time for Goodbye, experienced a horrific ordeal that nearly cost them their lives. Today, the echoes of that fateful night are still audible. Terry’s wife, Cynthia, is living separate from her husband and daughter after her own personal demons threatened to ruin her relationship with them permanently. Their daughter, Grace, is rebelling against her parents’ seemingly needless overprotection. Terry is just trying to keep his family together. And the entire town is reeling from the senseless murder of two elderly locals.
But when Grace foolishly follows her delinquent boyfriend into a strange house, the Archers must do more than stay together. They must stay alive. Because now they have all been unwillingly drawn into the shadowy depths of their seemingly idyllic hometown.
For there, they will be reconnected with the man who saved their lives seven years ago, but who still remains a ruthless, unrepentant criminal. They will encounter killers for hire working all sides. And they will learn that there are some things people value much more than money, and will do anything to get it.
Caught in a labyrinth between family loyalty and ultimate betrayal, Terry must find a way to extricate his family from a lethal situation he still doesn’t fully comprehend. All he knows is that to live, he may have to do the unthinkable....

Seven years after barely surviving the terrors of No Time for Goodbye (2007), the Archer family of Milford, Conn., once again tempts fate in this darkly comic if decidedly creepy thriller from Arthur Ellis Award winner Barclay. History seems to be repeating itself as mom Cynthia fights to set limits on 14-year-old Grace, who defies her—much as the rebellious 14-year-old Cynthia herself did the night she got drunk with local hood Vince Fleming and her parents and brother disappeared. But Grace’s latest lapse in judgment—agreeing to joyride with pistol-packing bad boy Stuart Koch, whose father assists the now-grown Vince—plunges the entire clan into a deadly perfect storm of greed, violence, dog walkers, and ruthless rival crooks at cross-purposes. The twisty, craftily-plotted action accelerates along with the body count, providing plenty of suspense and a surprising number of laughs—for readers willing to tolerate very bad things befalling some pretty good people. Five-city author tour. Agent: Helen Heller, Helen Heller Agency (Canada).

August 1, 2014
In Barclay's 2008 thriller No Time for Goodbye, a woman discovers the truth about the disappearance of her family, a quarter of a century earlier, when she was a rebellious teenager. It's a gripping, haunting novel, and this new sequel, set seven years later, tries very hard to replicate it. Cynthia Archer is still attempting to deal with what she learned about her parents' disappearance and about herself, but she's not having much success: she's living apart from her husband and her daughter, Grace, unable to put her memories in the past. When Grace becomes caught up in a desperate situation, which could be connected to some recent home invasions, Cynthia's husband, Terry, realizes he is the only one who can save his familyagain. This is a solid, well-written thriller, but it doesn't quite hit the same dramatic heights as No Time for Goodbye, which is one of Barclay's best books. HIGH-DEMAND BACKSTORY: Yes, Barclay is a veteran of best-seller lists, but here's another yardstick of his stature: when Stephen King joined Twitter, @Linwood_Barclay was one of the first 16 people he followed.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2014, American Library Association.)
