Envy the Night (Hardcover, First)


Three months before his high school graduation, Frank Temple III joins the rest of the world in learning of his father's covert career, one that culminated in suicide to avoid prosecution and prison. For the younger Temple, it triggered seven years of anonymous drifting, still unable to believe the father he'd loved so dearly was entirely in the wrong. Then Frank's attempts to bury the past are interrupted by a message: Devin Matteson, the man who lured Frank's father into the killing game only to later give him up to the FBI, is returning to the isolated Wisconsin lake that was once scared ground for both families.It's a homecoming Frank knows he can't allow. But when he arrives at the lake with vengeance on his mind he discovers that while Matteson is in a hospital a thousand miles away, recovering from a gunshot wound, his old cabin is indeed occupied...by his wife and a nervous man with a gun. When a pair of assail - ants from Miami arrive on their heels, Frank knows Matteson can't be far behind. Family secrets, mob hit-men, and a father's shadowy legacy combine to make this Koryta's most compelling thriller yet.
