The Twenty-Three by Linwood Barclay, a Promise Falls Mystery (3rd in series)
Publisher: Berkley
It's the Saturday of Memorial Day weekend, May 23rd, and the small town of Promise Falls, New York, has found itself in the midst of a full-blown catastrophe. Hundreds of people are going to the hospital with similar flu-like symptoms — and dozens have died. Investigators quickly zero in on the water supply. But the question for many, including private investigator Cal Weaver, remains: Who would benefit from a mass poisoning of this town?
Meanwhile, Detective Barry Duckworth is faced with another problem. A college student has been murdered, and he's seen the killer's handiwork before — in the unsolved homicides of two other women in town. Suddenly, all the strange things that have happened in the last month start to add up …
Bloody mannequins found in car "23" of an abandoned Ferris wheel … a fiery, out-of-control bus with "23" on the back, that same number on the hoodie of a man accused of assault …
The motive for harming the people of Promise Falls points to the number 23 — and working out why will bring Duckworth closer to death than he's ever been before …
— The Twenty-Three by Linwood Barclay
