In a riveting new novel of psychological suspense, Stephen White shines a brilliant light on the darkness that hides just beneath the surface of ordinary lives, on the fears that cripple us and the prisons we create - prisons of the body, mind, and spirit.
Thirteen years ago, Tom Clone was convicted and sentenced to life imprisonment for the brutal murder of Ivy Campbell. Then the chance discovery of the murder weapon - and the subsequent DNA tests - proves what Tom had claimed from day one: someone else killed Ivy. His days on death row are finally over.
But within hours of leaving prison, Tom receives a sinister welcome back into the outside world: the two policeman who put him away want Tom to know they think he is still guilty. He may have escaped justice, but he's going to have to watch his back at all times.
Arriving in Boulder, Colorado, to stay with his grandfather, Tom turns to clinical psychologist Alan Gregory to help him to re-adjust to life outside prison. But psychological support isn't the only help Tom needs.
Someone is preparing his grandfather's house for a break-in. Then his grandfather is attacked. And just as Alan is beginning to pull together the pieces about this strangest of cases, Tom disappears . . .
A thriller of runaway tension, 'The Best Revenge' taps into our most closely guarded fears, taking us on a harrowing journey into a realm of terror and pain, of love gone wrong and vengeance gone mad.
