In this fast-paced historical thriller, the #1 New York Times bestselling author introduces Archer, a WWII veteran forced to investigate a small-town murder — or risk returning to prison. It’s 1949.

The small town quickly proves more complicated and dangerous than Archer’s years serving in the war or his time in jail…
