Into the Web

“No other suspense writer takes readers as deeply into the heart of darkness as Thomas H. Cook.”—Chicago Tribune I know you were there. . . . Roy Slater left Kingdom County forever after the shocking double homicide that rocked his hometown. But the .38-caliber echoes he left behind still haunt the hardscrabble West Virginia community. Now, twenty-five years later, he’s come back to spend one last summer caring for his dying father. I know what you did. . . Only Roy knows what really happened that snowy night two decades ago when the world suddenly shattered—only Roy and old Sheriff Wallace Porterfield. And now, maybe, Porterfield’s son, the new sheriff, knows too. You’ll never get away from it. . . . And when a body is found in the woods and his first, last, and only love, Lila, is connected to the corpse, it’s Roy who’s sworn in by the sheriff to discover the truth. But what Roy uncovers is that he never escaped the past, that it’s been waiting for his return, that it’s ready, this time, to kill him. . . .
