A Tap on the Window by Linwood Barclay
Carl Weaver’s son Scott dies in an accident and Carl, a private investigator, is determined to find out more about the accident and has strong suspicions that there is more to this than has been told. He is going to many of Scott friends trying to find the answers when one night during a bad rain storm he gerts a tap on his car window and picks up a young girl who knew his son.
From this encounter , Carl then gets pulled into involvement in a complicated investigation of the girl’s disappearance, a murder and a complex ongoing fight between the small town’s police force and the council and mayor..
It is quite a believable modern story and the mystery is complex. It is a story set in a small town and with topical problems.
A good read if you like mysteries. I was surprised by the end of the story and found it a sad ending.
