The Homecoming by Carsten Stroud

The Homecoming by Carsten Stroud

In Niceville, a pleasant Southern town where evil lurks just beneath the surface, two back-to-back airplane crashes set off a spellbinding chain reaction of murder, inadvertent kidnapping, and double-dealing.

Detective Nick Kavanaugh must balance his investigation into the accidents with family concerns and a long-buried mystery. He and his wife Kate, a family lawyer, have taken in Kate's sister and her two children, escaping their abusive father Byron Deitz. The Kavanaughs are also caring for the orphaned Rainey Teague, who recently survived a strange kidnapping and has come back a very different child. Rainey was not the last person to vanish from a Niceville street; most recently, an administrator from Rainey's school, and--even worse--Kate's father, a local historian, have gone missing. Using her father's files, Kate and Nick start to unearth their town's bloodstained past, trying to discover the truth behind generations of disappearances. But a sinister someone--or something--stands in their way.

Close Pursuit, a New York Times bestseller, and Sniper's Moon, an award-winning novel set in the New York City Police Department, are both written by Carsten Stroud. Thunder Beach is where he lives and writes. This is an excerpt from the Hardcover edition.
