This is the first novel I've read by John Hart and was one of the books picked up at a local Friends of the Library sale.
I found it very suspenseful with lots of family mysteries.
From the cover:
Adam Chase has a violent streak, and for good reason. As a boy, he saw things no child should witness, suffered wounds that left him misunderstood and even grown he remains dangerous and unpredictable. For five years he disappears and is attacked within hours of his return, the tone of his homecoming is set.
