Publisher Description
Philadelphia journalist Danny Ryan is finally getting his life together. Two and a half years after losing his family, he's moved to a new house, started working again, and even began getting close to fellow reporter Alex Burton. Then an old high school acquaintance, Greg Moss, shows up asking for help. He's been getting threatening text messages, and he's not the only one. Other members of Danny's high school class have gotten the same messages, and now they're dead. And then Greg becomes the next victim.
Between shady political connections and crooked land deals in his real estate business, Greg had plenty to hide, but it might have been an incident from his youth that led to his death. Now Danny finds himself drawn down the dark corridors of his own life as he tries to put together the lost memories from one fateful high school party all those years ago.
But when Danny receives a text of his own, it's a race to find the truth before the killer, much like his own past, can catch up to him in One by One, the electrifying follow-up to Sarah Cain's The 8th Circle.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In Cain's compelling sequel to 2016's The 8th Circle, Philadelphia freelance columnist Danny Ryan, who's still coping with the deaths of his wife and preteen son in a car accident more than two years earlier, agrees to meet Greg Moss, a jock he knew in high school, at the Shamrock bar. Over a beer, Greg, now a realtor involved in a huge development project, tells Danny that he's been receiving ominous messages with quotes from the Bible. Greg adds that several of his fellow ex-teammates may have received similar messages and now they're all dead. The initially reluctant Danny agrees to help and enlists the aid of his police officer brother, Kevin, and a friend from his newspaper days, reporter Alex Burton. Their search for answers leads to increasingly violent events that bring Danny and Alex to the unwanted attention of a highly suspicious Det. Ted Eliot. Hints of a potential romance between Danny and Alex provide some welcome relief from the mounting tension.
