The presumption of guilt follows him, and the tragedy soon fades from the headlines as those involved find ways to go on with their lives, albeit forever changed.įifteen years later, in the same small town, it happens again-this time at the Dairy Creamery. An acquaintance of the victims, Vince Whitaker-known around town as a small-time drug dealer-is later charged with the crimes though he disappears before the case can go to trial. But an assailant with a knife has other plans for them, and only Ella survives the attack. With the whole world anticipating a Y2K-related calamity, the girls just want to get through closing. It’s New Year’s Eve 1999 in Linden, New Jersey, and Ella Monroe is working at Blockbuster with friends Candy, Mandy, and Katie, and their manager, Steve. His eagerly awaited second novel of suspense, The Night Shift, drops this March. Finlay’s work has been translated into more than a dozen languages and optioned for television and film.
That book-about a family tragedy that wasn’t the accident authorities claimed-won over readers and reviewers alike and made numerous Most Anticipated/Best Of lists. Pseudonymous author Alex Finlay made an impressive debut with last year’s Every Last Fear.
