Thomas Huston remembers the knife, and he killed his family, didn't he? Or did he? Daniel Silva keeps you guessing in this page-turner focused on Thomas Huston, a bestselling author whose wife and children are found brutally murdered. In the small town they live in, everyone thought that they were the perfect family, and Thomas couldn't have murdered them (could he?). However, Thomas is missing, which means he's the prime suspect. However, Sergeant Ryan DeMarco, who has gotten to know Thomas over the years, thinks maybe something else may have happened. DeMarco has some sad secrets of his own, and can't believe that Thomas could be capable of this crime. However, as he delves deeper into Thomas' notes on his newest novel-in-progress, it appears Thomas has been keeping secrets of his own.
This book really kept me on my toes, and off-balance. You get the viewpoints of both Thomas Huston and Ryan DeMarco, and when you encounter Thomas, he's already on the run and appearing to be suffering some post-traumatic distress. However, it's hard to know for sure what really happened. As DeMarco reveals what he is learning about Thomas, it feels like the mystery gets deeper, and as more is uncovered, it actually feels like the path to the truth grows a bit murky. This is a dense story with some twists you might not see coming. A bit of a slow start that keeps building to a surprising finish.
