"Over 2 million copies of his books in print. The first and only author to win back-to-back Edgars for Best Novel. Every book a New York Times bestseller. Now after five years, John Hart is back with a stunning literary thriller. Imagine: A boy with a gun waits for the man who killed his mother. A troubled detective confronts her past in the aftermath of a brutal shooting. After thirteen years in prison, a good cop walks free. But for how long? And deep in the forest, on the altar of an abandoned church, the unthinkable has just happened... This is a town on the brink. This is a road with no mercy. Since his debut bestseller, The King of Lies, reviewers across the country have heaped praise on John Hart, comparing his writing to that of Pat Conroy, Cormac McCarthy and Scott Turow. With each novel Hart has climbed higher on the New York Times Bestseller list, with his last two books - The Last Child and Iron House - landing squarely in the top ten. His masterful writing and assured evocation of place have won readers around the world and earned history's only consecutive Edgar Awards for Best Novel. After five years, John Hart returns with Redemption Road, his most powerful story yet"--… (more)

DNF….the writing is fine, easy to read. The characters are awful and make no sense. Couldn’t finish. ( )

John Hart is an excellent crime fiction author. If I read this genre, and I do occasionally, I prefer him. This plot revolves around a newly released ex-cop
convict, an attempt to murder him, a cop who doesn’t think he did it, and an evil prison warden. The major crime involves murder of beautiful women left as a sacrifice on the altar of an abandoned church. ( )

Three storylines were at least one too many !! A serial killer, evil prison warder and kidnapper/rapists all connected to the same group of people ??? ( )

I was totally blown away by this book. The depth of characterization, the plotting, and ability to bring locations to life made for one of the best books I’ve read in a while. Absolutely outstanding. Can’t wait to read more by the author. ( )
