About the Book

Retired NYPD detective Dave Gurney becomes ensnared in a case of murderous political intrigue tearing apart a once bucolic Upstate New York town The final, thrilling chapter in the fair play Dave Gurney saga finds the storied detective, often compared to Sherlock Holmes, confronted with an intractable nemesis while trying to fix his splintered marriage. Ghosts are returning from the past to trouble Gurney's peace as a local election sees a powerful real estate mogul with plans for a massive development face off against a librarian and ardent conservationist. Protests erupt, battle lines are drawn between ideological camps, and the future of a once idyllic hamlet hangs in the balance. When bodies start turning up, and the local police turn a blind eye, Gurney suspects he's the town's only hope to stop the carnage that is tearing everybody apart. But involvement comes at a price. His last case nearly got his best friend killed, and it shattered his marriage. In the aftermath, he's focused on breaking his reliance on police work in hopes of rekindling things with his wife, Madeleine. Can he ignore what's happening and potentially let a murderer run amok or will he once again dive into the darkness, giving into his obsessive need to solve the unsolveable-even if it costs him Madeleine for good? One thing is clear: this harrowing, confounding case will be his last.

About the Author :
JOHN VERDON is the author of the Dave Gurney series of thrillers, international bestsellers published in more than two dozen languages: Think of a Number, Shut Your Eyes Tight, Let the Devil Sleep, Peter Pan Must Die, Wolf Lake, White River Burning, On Harrow Hill, and The Viper. Before becoming a crime fiction writer, Verdon had two previous careers: as an advertising creative director and a custom furniture maker. He currently lives with his wife, Naomi, in the rural mountains of upstate New York―raising chickens, tending the garden, mowing the fields, and devising the intricate plots of the Gurney novels.

Review :
Praise for Ghost Barn

"Verdon’s ninth and final fair-play puzzle featuring private detective Dave Gurney is a fitting send-off for an exemplary series . . . Verdon constructs an intricate, surprising mystery without sacrificing an ounce of characterization. This swan song cements Gurney’s place in the PI hall of fame." —Publishers Weekly (starred review)

"Verdon is after something radically different . . . with an axe murder and an explosion loud enough to rattle the pages." —Booklist

"I have been an embarrassingly big fan of John Verdon for almost twenty years. His novels feel at once old-fashioned and shockingly new, and his hero, Dave Gurney, is one of the more intriguing American detectives of an era with several great ones. I've never been let down by a Verdon novel and Ghost Barn is yet another winner, a novel as surprising as it is prescient about the times we find ourselves living in. This is a perfect culmination of a series that has riveted me for a long time from a writer who has just gotten better with each book, and I can't speak highly enough about it. Verdon is simply one of the best to ever do it." —Will Lavender, author of Dominance

Praise for the Dave Gurney Series

"John Verdon writes grown-up detective novels, by which I mean stories with intelligent plots, well-developed characters and crimes that have social consequences." —The New York Times Book Review
