Zack Walker Mystery #1

Zack Walker is a writer with an overactive imagination and two teenage children. After a murder on their street, he uproots his family from the city - insisting it´s for their own good - and heads for the security of the suburbs.

However, his peaceful new life is soon shattered when he finds a body while out walking by the creek. Zack recognizes the dead man - and knows who his killer might be.

Things go from bad to worse as Zack follows a trail of deceit that leads right to his front door. To protect his family - and so he doesn´t get framed for a crime he didn´t commit - he´s going to have to track down the killer himself.

Suddenly the suburbs are not looking nearly so safe . . .

Linwood Barclay´s debut novels, available for the first time in the UK.
