Redemption RoadRedemption Road by John Hart. "Several friends have mentioned this as the best thriller they've read recently, though I haven't read it yet. John Hart is a southern writer sometimes compared to Pat Conroy. From Amazon: 'A boy with a gun waits for the man who killed his mother. A troubled detective confronts her past in the aftermath of a brutal shooting. After thirteen years in prison, a good cop walks free as deep in the forest, on the altar of an abandoned church, a body cools in pale linen… This is a town on the brink. This is Redemption Road.Brimming with tension, secrets, and betrayal, Redemption Road proves again that John Hart is a master of the literary thriller.'"
