Award-winning author Joe Clifford's breakout novel, a thriller of psychological suspense about a man eager to restart his life after being acquitted of a heinous crime, only to find himself a suspect again when a body washes up near his house.
Praise for THE LAKEHOUSE
"The Lakehouse is a riveting page-turner where the secrets roll at you like dice. Clifford's gritty and immersive writing style is the perfect vehicle for this tale of a town where nothing is as it seems, where truth after astonishing truth is revealed layer by layer, until it all comes together in a satisfying crescendo. Highly recommended."
-Jess Lourey, Amazon Charts bestselling author of Unspeakable Things

"Captivates with pell-mell action, striking characters, and a tantalizingly complex plot." ?Library Journal
