 Book Description
A stunning fiction debut--both a shocking thriller and a complex novel of the bond between fathers and sons. What would you do if you discovered you were adopted...and that your biological father was a serial killer? Paul Sinclair's real father is the Pied Piper, a mass murderer never caught but presumed dead. Now, decades after his disappearance, it seems the Piper is back...and has a new, even more chilling agenda, an agenda that draws him closer to Paul, to Paul's wife, Ellie, and to their son, Michael. Events unfold quickly and Paul becomes caught up in something far beyond his control. Ellie sees his increasingly erratic behavior as obsessive and dangerous, and even Paul starts to doubt himself. All of the threads of the novel come together in the unforgettable final struggle between hunter and hunted on the wreck of a World War II freighter run aground on an island north of Seattle. Terrifying and inventive, The Piper's Sons breaks new ground in psychological suspense.
"[A] terrific debut...A brooding, unsettling thriller." --Stephen White, author of Manner of Death
"You'll be up all night unearthing the secrets buried in The Piper's Sons, and Fergusson makes the digging a pleasure...A powerful debut that will stay with you long after you close the book." --Greg Iles, author of Mortal Fear
Not too bad for a debut thriller, the author has all the right elements going. It gets a little bogged down, and the inevitable twist is somewhat predictable by the time it is revealed but otherwise a fairly compelling read.

Ah..memories... it was back in the SSS #12 when I pushed Jebbie out of the way and grabbed this book for myself.
I danced around with it, so happy to be walking away with it.
I will read it as soon as possible and send on to her next.
Sticky note was added the minute it arrived since I don't trust my memory much these days.
Hope to see you at the next one end of Oct.
