Linwood Barclay: a writer with ‘everyman’ heroes.

Linwood Barclay is an American writer who has unlikely heroes in his crime/thrillers.   It might be a used car salesman or a builder, whose lives are turned upside down by some cataclysmic event.  Barclay throws them in, and shows that even ‘ordinary’ people do extraordinary things when pushed.  His new book The Accident is just out, and to try and get him to a new audience his publisher has printed one of his earlier titles, Too Close To Home at at special price of $5.  It isn’t a big investment to discover a new author, so give him a try.  There is limited stock and they won’t last long, so hurry on in.
