Late one night, Sal Erickson's best friend calls him outside for a walk by the river. "Who do you trust?" he asks Sal. "Who would you trust with your life?"

It is this fateful question that will send Sal's precariously balanced life spinning out of control--propelling him into a strangely irresistible arena of passion and violence. For Bobby Swift and his stunningly seductive wife Noel are planning the scam of the century. And Sal, against his will, is about to be entangled in their plans.

Amazon.com Review
The thriller world's Maine man, Stephen King, calls this striking effort, set in the fictional Maine town of Gravity, "the sort of book you think about during the day and can't wait to settle back into at night." Kimball, who lives in York Harbor, just down the coast from King, combines Poe's The Premature Burial with James M. Cain's Double Indemnity, adds a jolt of sexual energy and a blast of betrayal, creates a cast of no less than a dozen fascinating characters and winds up with a book guaranteed to keep you touched and enthralled.
