A Thomas H Cook Omnibus by Thomas H Cook
"Red Leaves": Eric Moore's happy family life in a quiet small town is shattered when his teenage son is suspected of abducting an eight-year-old girl. Eric must counsel his son, find him a lawyer and protect him from the community's steadily growing suspicion...Except that Eric is not so sure his son is innocent. "Mortal Memory": 'What did my father do? He killed my mother, my sister, then waited to kill me...' Thirty years later, Stephen Farris pieces together what his father did and why, inexorably leading to the dissolution of his own family and a shattering search for and confrontation with his father."The Chatham School Affair": Attorney Henry Griswald has a secret - the truth behind the tragic events the world knew as the Chatham School Affair, the controversial tragedy that destroyed five lives, shattered a quiet community, and forever scarred the young boy. Layer by layer, Cook paints a portrait of a woman, a school, and a town in which passionate violence seems impossible...and inevitable.
A good thriller doesn't necessarily require flying fists, bombs and bullets; a sure and measured build-up of tension does just as well, and few are better at the fine art of sure and measured than Thomas HCook - Guardian * Guardian *
