Revue de presse
'I don't always agree with the Richard & Judy recommendations, but this time I am with them all the way. This book is a really classy thriller, with a plot that is complex and beguiling without being too convoluted ... Whenever I thought that I had unravelled the plot, another twist left me flummoxed, and the solution had me blinking with surprise and admiration' (Matthew Lewin, Guardian)
[Hart] explores betrayal and forgiveness in indelible prose (Observer)
Hart spins a clever mystery and keeps skilful control of his plot (Sunday Telegraph)
'Hart builds the suspense of this whodunit expertly' (Douglas Wight, News of the World)
'A Chandleresque thriller' (Sunday Times)
'A heart-pounding thriller that explores the dark side of human nature' (Metro)
'A gripping thriller full of twists and turns' (Oldham Evening Chronicle)
'Hart proves here he is certainly no one-hit wonder' (Good Book Guide)
'This is a big, warm-hearted novel' (Natasha Cooper, Crime Time)
The story works both as a suspenseful whodunit and as a sensitive rumination on the emotional force of family dynamics (Washington Post)
Présentation de l'éditeur
Going back is never easy . . . Adam Chase has spent the last five years in New York trying to forget. When he left North Carolina, Adam left for good. Now he has no choice but to return - and being remembered as a murderer doesn't help.
Within hours of arriving, Adam is beaten up, accosted and has to face the hostility of those closest to him, including Grace, the young woman he cannot forget. Nothing has changed. And then people start turning up dead. For a man only just acquitted of murder, Adam's homecoming does not go well. And he has a dark streak, a history of violence.
Everyone doubts. No one trusts him. And as the past threatens to overshadow the present, Adam becomes the prime suspect for the new murders. He alone can clear his name . . .

Etat : Good. A powerful, heart-pounding thriller from the unparalleled New York Times bestselling and two-time Edgar Award-winning author of The Last Child and The King of Lies, Down River will haunt your thoughts long after the last page is turned. Adam Chase has a violent streak, and for good reason. As a boy, he saw things no child should witness, suffered wounds that left him misunderstood--a fighter. Even grown, he remains dangerous and unpredictable, so that when he narrowly beats a murder charge, he's hounded out of town, exiled for a sin he did not commit. For five long years, he disappears. But now he's back, and no one knows why - not his family or the cops, not the enemies he left behind. But Adam has his reasons. Attacked within hours of his return, the tone of his homecoming is set. As bodies turn up and the town rises in anger, Adam again finds himself in the fight of his life, not just to prove his innocence, but to reclaim the only life he's ever wanted. Secrets build on secrets, emotions tear, and more than one person crosses the brink as Hart examines the lengths to which people will go for money, family, and revenge.Praise for John Hart and Down River: Hart] combines gripping plots with a wonderful gift for prose, making his books literary crowd-pleasers that appeal to the brain as well as the emotions. There are few books published that can legitimately be called a must-read, but this is one of them. --Chicago Sun Times If you value Harper Lee, James Lee Burke, Truman Capote, and Michael Malone. it's time to add John Hart to your bookshelves. --Otto Penzler, The New York Sun An artist adding layers of paint . Hart takes his time, snaring the reader with evocative storytelling and lush prose along with the usual quota of conflict and murder. --The Boston Globe A] complex, emotionally charged novel. Down River is a beautifully constructed story of personal redemption, family secrets, and murder. A truly splendid novel with a deep emotional core. --Booklist (starred) The thrills come fast and furious. --Washington Post Nail-biting suspense. -Raleigh News and Observer Richly atmospheric. should settle once and for all the question of whether thrillers and mysteries can also be literature. -Publishers Weekly, starred review Falls squarely in the league of the best of Southern novels. --South Florida Sun Sentinel.
