Book Review: "The measure of a man's real character is what he would do if he would never be found out." Unknown source
Summary: 4 Stars
David Harwood has been working on a story of Star Spangled Corrections, a privately run correctional corporation, wanting to build a prison in his town. David has records of payoffs of politicians but his editors delay in publishing it.
One day, David, his wife Jan, and their four year old son, Ethan, go to an amusement park. As they approach the front gate, Jan remembers something in the car and tells David she'll meet him inside. She never shows.
After alerting park officials and doing an extensive search, police are called in and after a bit begin to suspect that David did something to his wife.
Things are baffeling and the reader wonders how they could be. But the author is providing a cover for his clever plot.
David is a smypathetic character. His plight is tragic but we also witness what his wife is up to and wonder how a reporter like David can't see things more clearly. Jan is a true Machiavellian figure, out only for herself. She's totally unlikable but this is part of the author's intent so we feel worse for her husband.
The plot is magnificent. Barklay is like a master fisherman, casting lines in different spots and then reeling them back with a story that catches the reader's breath.
