Why we picked it

A strong pick for readers who like dark suburban suspense, morally tangled vigilantes, and detectives who keep pulling at loose threads until the whole façade starts to crack.

About this book

In Travis Warman’s thriller, Michael Denton and Ryan Hayes look like ideal people to live next door to: reliable, helpful, and deeply involved in their community. Behind that polished image, though, they have spent years tracking dangerous people who escaped justice and killing them. They keep a detailed record of each act in an encrypted dark-web file known as The Ledger.

Everything has worked according to plan until a decision changes the balance. After fifteen-year-old Julia Harrison disappears, the town of Junction City pours into the search, and Michael and Ryan are right in the middle of it, helping lead the effort and playing the roles everyone expects. Detective Kayla Schultz studies the case and begins to see that the timeline does not fit and the accepted version of events is full of weak spots. As she pushes further, Michael is haunted by their latest actions, Ryan becomes determined to defend their secret, and the evidence waiting in The Ledger threatens to bring everything down.
