"Do you think you know what your own mother might do? The Survivors is
an up-close-and-personal mystery--the best suspense I've read this year.
It will haunt you." --DIANA GABALDON, #1 New York Times-bestselling
author of the Outlander series Psychologist Cal Henderson has a
successful practice in Washington, DC, and big plans for the future. But
he can't escape a terrible secret. When he was a boy, his mother
murdered his father and two brothers and severely wounded Cal's best
friend, Scottie Glass. Desperate to keep the nightmare at bay, Cal has
turned his back on everything that happened that night. On the
twenty-fifth anniversary of the killings, Scottie shows up at Cal's
office--edgy, paranoid, but somehow still the loveable kid he once was.
Though their lives have taken very different paths, they both believe
Cal's mother couldn't have been a murderer. She loved them too much, no
matter what dark place she found herself in. They set off to dig up the
real story. Cal uncovers one shocking secret after another about his
family. The trail leads to a shady defense contractor, a scheming US
Attorney, and, ultimately a billionaire with the kind of power and
connections that can only be found in Washington. But Cal is paying a
price. The memories he has avoided for so long have come flooding back,
sending him into a tailspin from which he may never recover.
