One of the New York Times Book Review's Top 10 Best Crime Novels of 2020

"[McMahon] tells his story with flair." (New York Times Book Review)

The author of The Good Detective delivers a gripping and atmospheric new novel in which a cop takes on a harrowing case and confronts old personal demons.

What if the one good thing you did in your life doomed you to die?

A hard-nosed real estate baron is dead, and detectives P.T. Marsh and Remy Morgan learn there's a long list of suspects. Mason Falls, Georgia, may be a small town, but Ennis Fultz had filled it with professional rivals, angry neighbors, and a wronged ex-wife. And when Marsh realizes that this potential murder might be the least of his troubles, he begins to see what happens when ordinary people become capable of evil.

As Marsh and Morgan dig into the case, it becomes clear that Fultz's death was not an isolated case of revenge. It may be part of a dark web of crimes connected to an accident that up-ended Marsh's life a couple years earlier - and that now threatens the life of a young child. Marsh veers dangerously off track as his search for clues becomes personal...and brings him to a place where a man's good deeds turn out to be more dangerous than his worst crimes.

this is 2nd book I have read in this series and I have enjoyed listening to it. Story kept me enthralled. Main character is mourning death of wife and son. He has issues but you can't help but hope he solves the case and gets his life in order. I recommend this author and series

Good story!

John McMahon has followed an amazing rookie book with a follow up that showed great growth. His character development while good in the first one is perfection in the second. The story is intricate but easy to follow, his snappy writing style continues and he will surprise at turn after turn. But don’t read it for that, read it for how he continues to flesh out and enhance the world of PT Marsh and Mason Falls.

In a word, it’s addictive.

Now hurry up and write the 3rd, John.

Excellent follow up novel!

Just the kind of book that I was combing through the reviews to find! A police procedural with heart! Nothing like finding a new detective to work the case with........ can’t wait for the next one!

Thank you John McMahon!

Great story

Writing is fine. Plot is a bit weak and strings go every which way. Very unsatisfying story lines.

Only Fair
