Fiction, Crime & mystery, Thriller / suspense

From the bestselling and prize-winning author of THE LAST CHILD and IRON HOUSE comes this long-awaited new thriller that will appeal to all fans of Michael Connelly and Dennis Lehane.

Elizabeth Black is a hero. She is a cop who single-handedly rescued a young girl from a locked cellar and shot two brutal kidnappers dead. But she's also a cop with a history, a woman with a secret. And she's not the only one.

Adrian Wall is finally free after thirteen years of torture and abuse. In the very first room he walks into, a boy with a gun is waiting to avenge the death of his mother. But that is the least of Adrian's problems.

He was safer in prison.

And deep in the forest, on the altar of an abandoned church, a body cools in pale linen. It is not the first to be found.

This is a town on the brink.

This is Redemption Road.

Brimming with tension, secrets, and betrayal, brilliantly evoking an America of small towns and remote landscapes, of the abandoned, the derelict and the desperate, this is a novel so chillingly suspenseful and a story so full of twists and turns that you simply cannot stop reading. It marks a new high point in the writing of this bestselling master of the literary thriller.

Praise for Redemption Road

  • John Hart writes with a spare clean prose style, a sharp ear for dialogue and a feel for intricacies of plot. - The Times on IRON HOUSE

  • One of the outstanding thriller-writers of our time, and this his fourth book, underlines that fact. It is, quite simply, breathtaking with a sweep and intensity that mark it out. Heart-stopping action, superb characterisation . . . this is my thriller of the summer. - Daily Mail on IRON HOUSE

  • Powerfully resonant - Daily Telegraph on IRON HOUSE

  • A really classy thriller . . . the solution had me blinking with surprise and admiration. - Guardian on IRON HOUSE

  • Hart maintains a propulsive momentum, blending tension with outbreaks of deftly executed violence to give the tale both pace and punch, but what marks Hart out from his peers is his facility for a kind of hardboiled poetry. While Iron House is ostensibly a novel about the travails of a former and unrepentant killer, Hart is an author who combines power and depth as he shines a light into the darker recesses of the human psyche. - Irish Times

  • Smart and swift-moving . . . Hart knows his way round the courtrooms and jailhouses . . . the way that Grisham and Turow do. - Pat Conroy on IRON HOUSE

  • If you want a real page-turner that will captivate you from start to finish, then Iron House is your book. - Toowoomba Chronicle
