The Edgar Award–winning author of the Stewart Hoag mysteries delivers a “fast-paced, frantic, and head spinning” crime thriller (Booklist). In the summer of 1972, the country was rocked by the Bagley Bunch murders—a killing spree that targeted America’s favorite TV sitcom family. A survivor of the slaughter, former child star Tim Ferris, is now dying of cancer. With only weeks to live, he needs the truth to come out. But the secrets he’s kept for a lifetime could bring down the presidential campaign of the front-running Christian conservative candidate, his former co-star on the series. Ferris reaches out to Pulitzer Prize–winning journalist and muckraker Hunt Liebling to tell his story. Having been blacklisted by a media mogul, Liebling has struggled to stay relevant, but Ferris’s explosive tell-all is sure to put him back on top—and expose a powerful cabal that won’t go down without a fight. As people around him are violently killed, Liebling goes from respected reporter to America’s most wanted, trapped in the never-ending nightmare from that long-ago summer . . . Praise for the thrillers of David Handler “One of my all-time favorite series!” —Harlan Coben on the Stewart Hoag Mystery series “Handler once again delivers a top-notch tale of crime and intrigue.” —Publishers Weekly on The Sweet Golden Parachute
