The river sorrow - Craig Holden

Adrian Lancaster thought he'd beaten his heroIn jag to become a doctor in a small Midwestern hospital. The burns victim in emergency was the first sign that the dragon hadn't given up the fight.

Now he's implicated in a series of murders, and haunted by the woman who once shared his past. Proving his innocence means walking the line: between a body-strewn hell and the deadly heaven of addiction . . .

'An exquisitely detailed thriller, one that moves - as all good thrillers ought to - like a Midwestern tornado, travelling in tighter and tighter circles towards its frightening climax'SCOTT SMITH, author of A SIMPLE PLAN
