You will burn in the storm

Tension has been mounting in White River. The imminent first anniversary of the death of a black motorcyclist shot by local police unsettles an economically depressed and racially polarized population, confronted by angry demonstrations and cases of arson and looting. But the situation becomes truly tense when more deaths occur in what appears to be a series of vendettas. However, when Gurney questions the true nature of all this bloodshed and focuses on the peculiar aspects of each of the homicides, the district attorney orders him removed from the investigation. Obsessed with evidence that does not corroborate the official version of events, Gurney decides to act on his own. "John Verdon's novels are intelligent, solid, compulsive, with brilliant twists, psychological depth, and characters that fill his pages with life."

John Verdon worked in several advertising agencies in Manhattan as creative director until, like his protagonist, he moved to live in rural upstate New York. Think of a Number was his first novel, a worldwide success. In 2011, Roca Editorial published Shut Your Eyes Tight, which was also a critical and sales success, followed by Get It in Writing, Peter Pan Must Die, Wolf Lake, and Watch Where You Sleep. His series, starring the charismatic retired detective David Gurney, is already a benchmark in the crime and mystery genre.
