NO WOODS SO DARK AS THESE

Already mourning his dead son, DeMarco, together with his partner and lover, Jayme Matson, wakes up every morning anguished over the miscarriage she suffered in pursuing their last case in A Long Way Down (2019). But he doesn’t feel he can turn down his old boss Capt. Kyle Bowen’s request for help after a father and his two young sons make a grisly discovery in the woods outside Otter Creek Township: a burned-out car containing two dead women close to the corpse of a naked man pinned to a tree truck with three rods of rebar. It’s hard enough just to identify the corpses; it’s even harder to get leads on Luthor Reddick, the hush-hush online antiques dealer who looks increasingly like the killer; and it’s hardest of all to close the case when at least two of Reddick’s associates are perfectly willing to confess to the murders themselves. As Silvis spins a characteristically atmospheric web, DeMarco can hear the footsteps of Daksh Khatri, the confederate who eluded the dragnet that brought down double murderer Connor McBride, as Khatri, who’s clearly determined to hurt him and Jayme in the worst way possible, draws closer and closer.
