Fault Line by Robert Goddard
5★
It could be your average suicide. a man found dead in his car, engine running, parked at te end of a lonely track, a tube feeding deadly fumes from the exhaust through the window. Except for the seven-year-old boy still breathing in the boot...For Jonathon Kellaway, the past is somewhere he chooses not to go. Dead friends, lost loves, and a family dynasty hell-bent on self destruction lie buried there. But if he is to uncover the truth, he must confront all the secrets, which have consumed his life, and which may yet consume him.Robert Goddard has a magical gift...he can paint vivid pictures with the words he writes. He also uses his obvious love of history to produce another top notch novel. Switching between the early sixties and the present day (2010) he has created a convoluted plot that keeps you "reading just one more page" and then "just one more chapter"...until you find yourself caught up in this excellent mystery with loads of twists and turns. If you are a fan of Steve Berry or Brad Meltzer, you will love Robert Goddard.
