What this book is about
The second Promise Falls novel: a drive-in movie screen collapses, killing several people. The bodies have secrets that open multiple investigations: bodies connected to the Promise Falls crime wave that David Harwood is following. Barclay builds his series arc — Promise Falls is under threat, and the individual cases are connected to something bigger.
