Publisher's summary
An old man is dying. When the old man is dead, they will come for him. And they will come for her, to make him hurt.
John Hart has written three New York Times best sellers and won an unprecedented two back-to-back Edgar Awards. His books have been called “masterful” (Jeffery Deaver) and “gripping” (People) with “Grisham-style intrigue and Turow-style brooding” (The New York Times). Now he delivers his fourth novel—a gut-wrenching, heart-stopping thriller no listener will soon forget.
He would go to Hell....
At the Iron Mountain Home for Boys, there was nothing but time. Time to burn and time to kill, time for two young orphans to learn that life isn’t won without a fight. Julian survives only because his older brother, Michael, is fearless and fiercely protective. When tensions boil over and a boy is brutally killed, there is only one sacrifice left for Michael to make: He flees the orphanage and takes the blame with him.
To keep her safe....
For two decades, Michael has been an enforcer in New York’s world of organized crime, a prince of the streets so widely feared he rarely has to kill anymore. But the life he’s fought to build unravels when he meets Elena, a beautiful innocent who teaches him the meaning and power of love. He wants a fresh start with her, the chance to start a family like the one he and Julian never had. But someone else is holding the strings. And escape is not that easy.
Go to Hell and come back burning....
The mob boss who gave Michael his blessing to begin anew is dying, and his son is intent on making Michael pay for his betrayal. Determined to protect the ones he loves, Michael spirits Elena—who knows nothing of his past crimes, or the peril he’s laid at her door— back to North Carolina, to the place he was born and the brother he lost so long ago. There, he will encounter a whole new level of danger, a thicket of deceit and violence that leads inexorably to the one place he’s been running from his whole life: Iron House.

In the summer of 1986, two tragedies rocked Oklahoma City. Six movie-theater employees were killed in an armed robbery while one inexplicably survived. Then, a teenage girl vanished from the annual state fair. Neither crime was ever solved. Twenty-five years later, the reverberations of those unsolved cases quietly echo through survivors’ lives. A private investigator in Vegas, Wyatt’s latest inquiry takes him back to a past he’s tried to escape - and drags him deeper into the harrowing mystery of the movie house robbery that left six of his friends dead.

On an entirely normal, beautiful fall day in Chester's Mill, Maine, the town is inexplicably and suddenly sealed off from the rest of the world by an invisible force field. Planes crash into it and fall from the sky in flaming wreckage, a gardener's hand is severed as "the dome" comes down on it, people running errands in the neighboring town are divided from their families, and cars explode on impact. No one can fathom what this barrier is, where it came from, and when - or if - it will go away.

Ex-cop Jim Weir thought he'd seen it all during his years on the force. That is until he saw the body of his sister Annie, brutally used by a monster in human form, then carelessly discarded. He'd never seen such grief ravage the face of his friend and brother-in-law Ray Cruz, a good cop on the Newport Beach Police Department. When Weir learns that the only witness swore the killer made his escape in a Newport Beach squad car, his disbelief turns to confusion and outrage.

The only sign of life for miles is an empty BMW.

While he searches for answers, the world searches for him - beginning with the cops that kick in the door of his dingy motel with guns drawn. Lost and alone, the man who might be Daniel Hayes flees into the night. All he remembers is a woman’s face, so he sets off for the only place he might find her.

half way through
I'm surprised by the negative reviews on this. The author isn't the greatest especially with Elena but I think the story in engrossing thus far. I loved, loved, loved Last Child and am trying to catch up on all of John Hart's books. This is my second, Down River is next.

Half-Harted
I was so looking forward to the next Hart book. I loved King of Lies, The Last Child, and Down River. Just loved them. I almost gave up on this book, however, because the first half is excruciatingly slow and the Elena character is so whiny and insipid. The narrator slips between an Italian and Spanish accent and reads her half-speed like she's loaded all the time. The relationship between her and Michael is about as interesting as dust. HOWEVER, everything is kicked up to high gear in the second half of the book where Elena is a minor character. Hart doesn't do violence as well as Adrian McKinty but it's still horrific. There are a lot of threads to the story which can be confusing and leaves the reader wondering why they are part of the story, but it all comes together in the end. This book is nowhere near as good as the others and there are a few stereotypes, as a southerner, I get tired of reading, but I guess I'd have to say I'd recommend this book...the second half did keep me up til two a.m.

Remarkable
wonderful story! Narrator is awesome in my opinion. However I would listen to the last child before this book. It gives you a little history of main characters childhood. it's not a have to, but I would definitely recommend "The Last Child" before this. Both are great stories. You can't go wrong either way

Good yarn but one part.....
Would you try another book from John Hart and/or Scott Sowers?
Yes,I'm a Hart fan in print.
Would you recommend Iron House to your friends? Why or why not?
With one reservation.
What about Scott Sowers’s performance did you like?
About 80@ of it .His interpretation of Elana just made my skin crawl. Made me give up on book halfway through and I just don't do that.
If this book were a movie would you go see it?
yes

Great story and great narrator.
I enjoyed listening to this book, as I have all of John Hart's novels. He was able to take a very dark character and make him seem more human. The narrator was perfect for the book. I look forward to John Hart's next novel.

Great story, but had language and a very dark story line. I'd still recommend it however. Just don't listen when kids are in the car. :)

A SUPERLATIVE STORY TELLER
This is my favorite mystery-thriller writer and I have read thousands of those books. Many years ago, I discovered Ruth Rendell's work and went to tell everyone about it. Now I have discovered that JOHN HART is a writer for my taste ~ he keeps me on a sentence Rollercoaster without dipping down to the level of King or Koontz. ( I know that both men can write a fine patch of prose.) While I 'm in that prose patch, I would like to read some fine literature mixed with my chillblains.
This starts out being a rather ponderous Mob book but after only a few chapters, I was totally immersed--and I stayed "with" the storyline to the last.
This is a wonderful book but for Mature audiences because of violence and cursing...
