Let the Guilty Pay

Description

Bartholomew Beck has a secret. He saw who killed his neighbor, but he lied to the police and now the wrong man is on Death Row. Oh, and he wrote a bestselling true-crime book on the murder, further cementing his lies. Twenty years after Summer Foster’s death, Beck’s writing career has gone cold and he’s making ends meet on a Texas oil pipeline when he finds a co-worker beaten to death with a screwdriver sticking out of her right eye — just like Summer. This time he’ll have to come clean with what he knows and Let The Guilty Pay. “LET THE GUILTY PAY is a cleverly plotted, deftly paced page-turner with complicated, deeply relatable characters. Everyone has a secret, everyone has an agenda, and Rick Treon dispenses the well-earned twists and reveals with the stiletto precision of a master.” — Heather Young, Strand Award-winning and Edgar Nominated author of The Lost Girls
