Private investigator Garrison Chase can't shake the case he couldn't solve. So when Carrie's conference takes them both to Texas, he drives north to see Hank Drummond, his late father's best friend of forty years. Hank has a box of photographs and the answers to questions Chase has carried since he was seven. Hank's house is a marvel. Voice-controlled locks. Sensors on every door. A system that knows who belongs there and speaks when spoken to. Hank built all of it himself. By late afternoon, Chase is sealed inside it with a technician he met an hour ago and three armed men working the perimeter. He doesn't carry a phone. Nobody is coming. Every lock, camera, and circuit in the house answers to the man who built it.
And that man is standing in the driveway.
Four hours to hold a house he doesn't understand, beside a stranger he has no choice but to trust, against men who were told nobody would be home. Whatever Chase works out before dark, the worst of it won't be what the men outside came for.
It will be who sent them. For fans of heart-stopping thrillers like "Gone Girl" and "The Girl on the Train, Chasing Daylight will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very last page.
