About this product
Product Information
From the New York Times bestselling author of the continuation James Bond novels comes a new novel of suspense about coming-of-age in the 1960s, and the neighborhood street where first love, a child abduction, and abuse collide. Sixty-one-year-old Shelby Truman, a romance novelist, has received a request to visit her childhood friend, Eddie, who is on Death Row. Though mentally ill, Eddie is scheduled to be executed for the disturbing, brutal murders of his wife and unborn child. As Shelby travels home to Texas for the unnerving reunion, she steps back into memories of her past, recalling her five-decade-long relationship with Eddie in order to understand what led the beautiful but troubled boy who lived across the street to become a murderer. Shelby and Eddie used to visit an abandoned fallout shelter in his backyard, their "secret hiding place" where they could escape Eddie's abusive father, enjoy innocent playtime, and, later, adolescent explorations. As they grow increasingly close, a tragedy occurs one July fourth, an event that sets in motion a lifelong struggle against an Evil--with a capital "E"--that has corrupted their all-American neighborhood. With only a few days left for Eddie to live, Shelby braces herself for a reunion that promises to shed light on the traumatic events that transpired on her street, changing everything Shelby thought she knew about the boy on Chicory Lane.

Reviews
"A first class thriller craftsman." --Lee Child "[An] unsettling thriller . . . readers will keep turning the pages." -- Publishers Weekly "This stand-alone is a surprising but satisfying departure for genre veteran Benson, the author of multiple James Bond pastiches as well as the acclaimed Black Stiletto series. The novel offers a compelling meditation on lifelong friendship, love, and tragedy as it details the evil that destroys two families." -- Booklist "A beautifully written thriller, filled with richly drawn characters, memorable dialogue, and a searing portrayal of a life-long friendship. Raymond Benson is a talented storyteller, and this is one of his best novels yet." --Alafair Burke, New York Times bestselling author of The Ex "Raymond Benson pulls at the heartstrings in this tragic tale. Peppered with nostalgia, love, heartbreak, and melancholy, the narrative is deeply entrancing and fast-paced. Part mystery, part reflective coming-of-age, The Screts of Chicory Lane will ensnare you into its web and refuse to release you even long after the final shocking pages have been turned." -- TopShelf Magazine , five-starred review "Where a novel lands on a bookstore shelf is defined by label: mystery, suspense, thriller, horror, literary. Raymond Benson's The Secrets on Chicory Lane is all of those things, and a little more. . . . Benson sculpts perfect sentences and scenes, memories and emotions dripping off the pages. I found parts of myself inside it . . . snatches of my childhood, awkward bits from long years ago . . . . A damn fine book." --Jean Rabe, USA TODAY bestselling author "In a bold move away from the thrillers for which he's best known, Raymond Benson offers readers a heartfelt and tragic tale. Across decades, the dark secrets on Chicory Lane shape and misshape the lives of all who live there. Benson, a master of suspense, has crafted a story as compelling as any thriller but with a depth of feeling few thrillers achieve. And the ending, I guarantee, will leave you breathless." --William Kent Krueger, New York Times bestselling and Edgar award-winning author of Ordinary Grace " The Secrets on Chicory Lane has a premise to envy: A killer and the girl next door meet one last time before execution day. How much do we know the people we have spent our lives with? Raymond Benson explores the nature of evil and how little chance we have to recognize it when we see it, or escape it, if we do." --Lori Rader-Day, Mary Higgins Clark Award-winning author of The Day I Died "Pitch-perfect characters drew me in; unrelenting suspense left me breathless by the end. Raymond Benson is a master storyteller." --Molly MacRae, award-winning author of the Haunted Yarn Shop Mysteries "A wonderfully written and heartbreaking account . . . as good a coming-of-age novel as I have read for many a year, but Benson's skill as a storyteller doesn't stop there. He delivers the poignancy and unbearable sensitivity of first love and sexual awakening. His account of how children escape from the shackles slapped on by their parents is masterly. . . . There is also a very clever murder mystery, which isn't resolved until the last few pages, and then the resolution brings only heartbreak." -- Fully Booked, "A first class thriller craftsman." --Lee Child "[An] unsettling thriller . . . readers will keep turning the pages." -- Publishers Weekly "This stand-alone is a surprising but satisfying departure for genre veteran Benson, the author of multiple James Bond pastiches as well as the acclaimed Black Stiletto series.

Raymond Benson is a master storyteller." --Molly MacRae, award-winning author of the Haunted Yarn Shop Mysteries "A harrowing tale of childhood physical and sexual abuse, and descent into madness . . . If dark is your thing this well-written tale of a sad, wasted life will make you count your blessings." -- Mystery Scene Magazine "A wonderfully written and heartbreaking account . . . as good a coming-of-age novel as I have read for many a year, but Benson''s skill as a storyteller doesn''t stop there. He delivers the poignancy and unbearable sensitivity of first love and sexual awakening. His account of how children escape from the shackles slapped on by their parents is masterly. . . . There is also a very clever murder mystery, which isn''t resolved until the last few pages, and then the resolution brings only heartbreak." -- Fully Booked "The story is just so brilliantly written that you can''t finish one chapter without reading the next three, and so on and so forth. . . . A powerful novel of childhood trauma seeping into an adult''s psychology. . . . Tremendously moving." -- Anne Bonny Book Reviews, "A first class thriller craftsman." -Lee Child "One of the best thriller writers in the business." -David Morrell, "A first class thriller craftsman." --Lee Child "[An] unsettling thriller . . . readers will keep turning the pages." -- Publishers Weekly "This stand-alone is a surprising but satisfying departure for genre veteran Benson, the author of multiple James Bond pastiches as well as the acclaimed Black Stiletto series.
