Description
Beneath the rotting floorboards of an abandoned shed are human bones -- lots of them -- the last things a runaway rogue true-crime writer and his photojournalist ex-lover expected to find when they took shelter from a vicious Wisconsin blizzard. The grisly nightmare Frank Corso and Meg Dougherty have uncovered is nothing they can turn a blind eye to. The hideous slaughter of a family, undetected for fifteen years, must be avenged, as the hunt for a killer carries Corso halfway across the show more country, and through a chilling history of violence, terror, and bloodshed. But becoming an instrument of justice has made him a target of a rage-driven maniac -- and it's leading to ashocking truth hidden in an isolated place where death lives ... and where no law protects the innocent. show lessTags

Jag vacklar mellan två och trea. Det blir ganska spännande. Men samtidigt... lite för tydliga tillrättalägganden, kanske alltför fantastisk intrig, och alltför många meningar utan subjekt. Det blir tröttsamt.
Men det är inte utan att jag skulle kunna tänka mig att läsa fler romaner med Frank Corso i huvudrollen.
Måste också påpeka detta: Vad som verkligen fångade min uppmärksamhet för den här romanen var författarens osannolika namn, en kombo av två stora biltillverkarkoncerner - GM Ford!
