An Amazon Best Book of the Month: Mystery, Thriller & Suspense

“[In] this strong standalone from Thriller Award–winner Freeman (the Jonathan Stride series),…Readers will admire the skillful way Freeman plays tricks with thriller conventions.” Publishers Weekly

“Brian Freeman’s new stand-alone psychological thriller, Thief River Falls, [is] a twisty story that keeps the reader off balance until the surprising conclusion. First you’ll read it, then you’ll go back to see how the heck he did it.” Pioneer Press

“This page-turner has more twists than Duluth’s Skyline Parkway or even San Francisco’s Lombard Street. It’s a helluva journey, and it has an I’m-not-crying, Shutter Island-like shocker surprise at the end.” Duluth News-Tribune

“A thrilling, nonstop adventure…” —The Real Book Spy

Thief River Falls reads like a whirlwind and ends way too soon for readers like myself who wanted to remain glued to these pages. The finale is brilliantly crafted and even brought a sniffle to my nose. This is highly recommended for those who enjoy their psychological thrillers infused with plenty of smarts and non-stop action.” —Bookreporter

“Freeman does a masterful job creating a nightmare scenario of never-ending darkness, roads that go nowhere with bogeymen at every intersection. A disturbing yet compelling thriller.” Booklist

“Smart, wickedly suspenseful and full of truly shocking twists, Thief River Falls is also a moving tale about family—and with a thriller writer at its center. How could I help but love it?” —Alison Gaylin, Edgar-winning author of Never Look Back

From the Publisher

I don’t want to spoil this book for you. I want you to dive into the pages of Brian Freeman’s Thief River Falls with the same excitement and eagerness that I did. I want you to worry as Lisa Power shelters a nameless runaway, wondering why these men are after the boy. I want you to question every story as Lisa does, searching endlessly for the truth.

Most important, I want you to experience the ending the way I did: devouring the text, eager for a conclusion to a mystery that was unlike anything I’d read before.

When
The Sixth Sense debuted in theaters in 1999, viewers across the globe entered into a tacit agreement: don’t spoil the ending for those who haven’t seen it. When a friend mentioned the twist to me two days before I saw the film, I thought he was kidding. Ten minutes into the film, I knew that he’d spoiled the movie.

Don’t be my traitorous friend.
Thief River Falls is a stunning novel with a profound twist that demonstrates what Brian Freeman fans have known for years: he’s a writer who after twenty novels will still surprise you. Please keep the secret safe—spoilers are no laughing matter.

- Jessica Tribble Wells, Editor

To Never Say, "Good-bye", Would You Believe Your Own Lies?

To Never Say, "Good-bye", Would You Believe Your Own Lies?
To what lengths do you think your mind would take you to not let go?This book is mournful, redemptive, heart-wrenching, fast-paced and will keep you turning the pages until you shut its covers at the end. The twist, even when revealed in its entirety, doesn't stop the story. The story continues to move along seamlessly with no less wonder or empathy.This is a book that can either be read as a surface level read only or as an insightful, in-depth one. It's reader's choice in that regard. It's a book that will echo if you truly listen; especially, for anyone who has lost someone they love and then lost again and again. It's the stripping away that breaks a person. Who are you without those you love most beside you?This book has an ending. You aren't left hanging or wondering. What you are left with is questions you may apply and ask yourself; or, you can simply walk away and not let this book affect you at all.It's a solid 4 star read. It's not life-changing but it is incredibly well written and done. Masterful even. Read it with and open mind and heart. Allow yourself to be pulled into the story. Become one with the material. Live it alongside of the characters.Sometimes life, in itself, is merciless; we, as a people, don't have to be. This book moved me. "The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full" (John 10:10). In no way is this book Christian and yet it brings to my mind the above verse nonetheless. Somewhere, within this story, is life. A life we wish could have turned out differently. Isn't that the case with most of our lives? Perhaps we won't find it here. Perhaps, it's only on the other side of the veil.
