Description

A gripping and compulsive thriller from the author ofThe Couple in Room 13

Dexter McCray is a farmer with a dark past that continues to haunt him. As a man struggling with alcoholism, hes used to being looked at with pity and suspicion in his community. So, after waking from a blackout to discover the body of a teenage girl in the nearby cottonwood grove, he cant be entirely sure hes innocent.

With no memory of the previous night, he sees no choice but to investigate the crime himself. Fortunately hes not alone. He has some helpin the shape of the dead girl herself.

In The Grove, readers are treated to more than a warped and imaginative mystery. With plot twists on every page, Rector breathes life into a story that pits reality against hallucination, truth against improbability. Is Dexter motivated by guilt or insanity, reason or folly? And how will the young victim provide the help he desperately needs? This is a novel about one man haunted by the reality of his failed life.

Praise for John Rector:

A well-crafted, tightly plotted thriller which steadily cranks up the sense of menace page by page. You know something bads going to happen and just have to keep readingSimon Kernick,Sunday Timesbestselling author ofDie Alone

Clean, lean writing. Pure story with no padding. The pace was cracking and the tension cranked up with each chapter. I inhaled it!Allie Reynolds, author ofShiver

One of the most violent, frightening and gripping books I have ever read. The phrase I could not put it down fits here -- and the ending stopped me COLD. An outstanding read -- dont miss this one!Beyond her Book,Publishers Weekly

Rector is the best find Ive made all yearTony Black

Wonderfully compelling. Could almost see the film racing across my eyesMaxim Jakubowski

Tense, taut, throat-grabbing. John Rector is far more accomplished than his years. Reads like a cross betweenNo Country for Old MenandDeliverance. TerrificEric Van Lustbader
