What this book is about
Linwood Barclay's standalone thriller follows Thomas Kilbride, who is obsessed with mapping programs and has memorized the world through Street View. When he sees what looks like a murder in a window in a New York City image, his brother Ray is the only one who believes him. Barclay's premise is clever, his execution is propulsive, and the novel moves between Thomas's autism-spectrum perspective and Ray's conventional thriller mechanics.
