"No other suspense writer takes readers as deeply into the heart of darkness as Thomas H. Cook."--Chicago Tribune I know you were there. . . . Roy Slater left Kingdom County forever after the shocking double homicide that rocked his hometown. But the .38-caliber echoes he left behind still haunt the hardscrabble West Virginia community. Now, twenty-five years later, he's come back to spend one last summer caring for his dying father. I know what you did. . .  Only Roy knows what really happened that snowy night two decades ago when the world suddenly shattered--only Roy and old Sheriff Wallace Porterfield. And now, maybe, Porterfield's son, the new sheriff, knows too. You'll never get away from it. . . . And when a body is found in the woods and his first, last, and only love, Lila, is connected to the corpse, it's Roy who's sworn in by the sheriff to discover the truth. But what Roy uncovers is that he never escaped the past, that it's been waiting for his return, that it's ready, this time, to kill him. . . . Praise for Into the Web "Thomas Cook is an artist, a philosopher, and a magician; his story is spellbinding."--The Drood Review of Mystery "Hypnotic prose and fresh scenarios set Cook's suspenseful ficiton apart. . . . If you have not yet been haunted by a Thomas Cook novel, now is a fine time to start."--Minneapolis Star Tribune… (meer)

This was an okay book - well written in that it really gave you a feel for the town and the characters in it. I initially figured that it was primarily supposed to be a mystery book (and in some respects, it was), but it really seemed to focus quite a bit on the coming-to-terms relationship between the narrator and his father (if that's the right way to put it).

I liked the storyline, although it seemed to drag in some parts. All in all it was a good read...satisfying ending. ( )

Rob Slater left Kingdom County, WV 25 years after a grisly murder and his brother's subsequent suicide. He vowed never to return, but his father's ailing health brings him home. Upon arriving, he is swept up in a new murder case - this time involving Lila Cutler, the only woman he ever loved. Corrupt small-town cops and deeply buried family secrets conspire against Roy as he attempts to aunravel the mystery behind what really happened to his brother and his relationship with Lila. ( )
