Adam Chase has been living in exile in New York after narrowly escaping conviction for murder in North Carolina – a murder his family believe he committed. A phone call from his oldest friend, asking for his help, brings Adam back to Red Water Farm. But there is none of the return of the prodigal son in the welcome he gets. And then people close to him start dying. There’s a southern gothic flavour to this well-written tale of family dysfunction, revenge, greed and betrayal. Hart hits the ground running and the story unfolds with pace, economy of language and some finely tuned scenes. The truth behind the killings is shocking, unexpected and satisfying. Hart’s first title, The King of Lies, was an award winner and Down River shows the same promise.
