Linwood Barclay returns to the setting of his previous hit, Broken Promise, for his latest detective thriller, Far From True ($22.95, Doubleday). When a movie screen collapses and kills four people, detective Cal Weaver has to figure out the connection between the accident and some missing DVDs. As usual, the characters are strongly developed, and, of course, things are not what they seem. Twists galore.
Barclay reads at North York Central Library on Tuesday (March 22).
