Reckoning: Bend of the Lake Book 2

Reckoning - Bend of the Lake Book 2Arthur Thorne has spent six years and nine months in a cell for something he didn't do. He has not spent that time being angry. He has spent it being precise.When he walks out of Central State Detention Center, he has a list of seven things and the patience of a man who has learned to carry time differently. He knows who framed him. He knows where they are. And he has spent years deciding that what he wants from them is not what anyone would expect.On a remote island, two women named Ellie and Sylvie have built something genuinely good from the wreckage of what they left behind. They have been waiting anyway. They always knew someone would come.Meanwhile, a detective named Brody is retiring after thirty-four years, closing the files he can close and carrying the ones he can't. One of those files goes back to 1988, to a boy who disappeared on a September afternoon and was never found - and to a name that connects that afternoon to everything that has happened since.Reckoning is a thriller about the distance between justice and repair, and what a careful, patient, devastatingly precise man does when he discovers those two things are not the same.The Bend of the Lake series is best read in order, beginning with Retribution.
