Wanna party?” she’d said, smelling of cigarettes and beer. She didn’t have to ask him twice. He doesn’t remember much else. Alex Finlay proves once again he’s a master storyteller.

As we are all too aware, people who survive that double bind can be haunted by debilitating cognitive dissonance and subsequent emotional dysregulation. In this “top-notch mystery thriller” ( Publishers Weekly, starred review), What Have We Done is a tale about the lives we leave behind and the secrets we carry with us forever.

I really hope he gives us another book featuring FBI Special Agent Sarah Keller (from The Night Shift and Every Last Fear).

Pfft.” Tom grips the microphone, leaning as if he’s being held up by the stand. Donnie has a brief image of a younger man in the same pose. Even then, Tom was always bossing everyone around. The only thing that’s changed is Tom’s hair plugs, those white Chiclet teeth, and the tighter fit of his leather pants.
