IT WAS A TRAGIC ACCIDENT. WASN'T IT? The bestselling crime thriller from the award-winning author of In the Clearing, soon to be a Disney+ Original Series.



Reid left the small town of Manson a decade ago, promising his former Chief of Police boss he'd never return after a very public career-ending incident. He made a new life in the city, became a PI and turned his back on the past.



Now, sent by an insurance firm to look into a suspicious car crash, he finds himself back in the place he grew up.
