Finalist for the 2018 Silver Falchion Award "A tough-minded crime
novel about the dangers of vigilantism. . . . Real crimes,
unspeakably nasty ones, including murder, figure in this well-built
novel." --The New York Times Book Review "Fans know to expect a
twist from Linwood Barclay and they get more than one here. Those
of us hooked on [Promise Falls] can hope that trilogy or no, Cal
and the town make another appearance at some point." --The Globe
and Mail "Billed as a stand-alone spinoff of Barclay's Promise
Falls trilogy, the new book has a stripped-down, tautly focused
quality. . . . Barclay's latest small-town thriller is one of his
best." --Kirkus Reviews, starred review "Outstanding. . . . Barclay
adroitly blends themes of internet vitriol and simmering societal
rage with a taut plot full of sly hints, unexpected twists and red
herrings." --Publishers Weekly, starred review "Parting Shot [is]
one of the best entries in Barclay's Promise Falls series."
--Chicago Tribune "Barclay knows how to keep readers turning the
page, and this stand-alone novel set in the same town with the same
characters after the events of his Promise Falls trilogy will have
fans excited. . . . While the community might not be the ideal
place to live, the stories there do provide wonderful reading
entertainment." --Associated Press "Cal Weaver, the PI, and Barry
Duckworth, the police detective . . . put in clever and resourceful
performances in the familiar style of a page-turner Barclay book."
--Toronto Star "Barclay's plots are a delight, and his small town
never fails to deliver a series of shocks" --The Sunday Times
"The two characters' stories alternate chapters to good effect,
doubling this twist-filled book's suspense." --The Wall Street
Journal "The real virtues of Barclay's best-selling fiction lie in
his characters, not just his plots. Families are as muddled and
complicated in his novels as they are in life, generally bolstered
by variations of loyalty and love as well as, sometimes, terrible
forms of betrayal." --The London Free Press
