Stranger On The Lookout

Ronald Thompson knows perfectly well that he is not the one who killed Nina Peterson, but everyone around him is convinced otherwise. In two days, he will be executed. However, the execution will not heal the grief of Steve, the victim's husband, nor will it calm the fears of Neil, her son who witnessed her death. Perhaps only time alone can do that, or maybe even before that happens, a dramatic twist would strip the facts of their absolute certainty. , , Even if listed in official records, data can be misleading, and hidden fingers may be manipulating the fates of individuals and skilfully fabricating false truths behind the scenes. Those lurking fingers in the shadows revel in the ecstasy of the murder they committed, preparing to resolve any remaining issues they have with the Peterson household. As usual in Clark's novels, the truth is not singular, and everyone is a potential suspect. Page after page, the reader collects fragments of information, trying to piece them together like a Lego game, only to arrive at a conclusion that undermines everything that had been built.
