Waiting on Wednesday

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine, featuring books that will come out soon that we are anxious to read.

This week's pick: Redemption Road by John Hart
Due out: May 3, 2016

Product Information taken from Goodreads:

Over two million copies of his books in print. The first and only author to win back-to-back Edgars for Best Novel. Every book a New York Timesbestseller.

Now after five years, John Hart is back with a stunning literary thriller featuring his first ever female protagonist.

Imagine:

A boy with a gun waits for the man who killed his mother.

A troubled detective confronts her past in the aftermath of a brutal shooting.

After thirteen years in prison, a good cop walks free. But for how long?

And deep in the forest, on the altar of an abandoned church, the unthinkable has just happened…

This is a town on the brink. This is a road with no mercy.

Since his debut bestseller, THE KING OF LIES, reviewers across the country have heaped praise on John Hart, comparing his writing to that of Pat Conroy, Cormac McCarthy and Scott Turow. With each novel Hart has climbed higher on the New York Times Bestseller list, with his last two books - THE LAST CHILD and IRON HOUSE --- landing squarely in the top 10. His masterful writing and assured evocation of place have won readers around the world and earned history's only consecutive Edgar Awards for Best Novel.
